Perishable and semi-perishable crops are those which still hold a comparatively large amount of water, and thus are much more susceptible to decay within a short period of time than grains or pulse crops. These crops include fresh vegetables and tubers which require stringent control of refrigeration, ventilation, and humidity in order to remain edible for a period of time. Once processed for freezing or canning, for example, these crops can then last much longer. That period can vary widely, from a few days for some leafy produce, to as much as several months for potatoes and apples.
