Fresh food refers to unprocessed or minimally processed products consumed in their natural state or after basic preparation such as washing, cutting, or cooking. This category includes fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, dairy products, and eggs. Fresh foods are often distinguished by their limited shelf life and require proper storage conditions, such as refrigeration, to maintain their quality and safety. These products offer nutritional content, flavor, and potential health benefits compared to heavily processed foods. As global health awareness increases, consumers actively seek fresh, unprocessed foods. The shift towards diets that emphasize fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats over processed foods drives market growth. In addition, the growing number of supermarkets, hypermarkets, and online grocery shopping platforms has made fresh foods more accessible to a broader consumer base, further propelling market expansion. Efficient cold chain logistics and advancements in supply chain management ensure fresher produce reaches consumers rapidly. However, fresh foods such as vegetables, fruits, dairy products, and meat have a limited shelf life. They can spoil quickly due to natural decay processes, inadequate storage conditions, and exposure to bacteria and other pathogens. The ongoing advancements in agri-tech for enhanced fresh food production offer lucrative opportunities for market expansion. These technological advancements allow for efficient use of water and nutrients, boosting crop yields and ensuring sustainable practices.
