While food insecurity remains a global concern, South Africa continues to be a significant producer and exporter of various perishable commodities, including meat, citrus, fish, fruit, and vegetables. These products are supplied not only to the local market but also to international destinations such as the United Kingdom, Europe, and the Far East.

To maintain quality, freshness, and shelf life, many perishable products require carefully controlled storage conditions. Unlike non-perishable goods, refrigerated and frozen products depend on uninterrupted temperature control throughout the storage process. Failure of a refrigeration or cooling system can result in rapid deterioration and substantial financial loss.
