Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de conservation et d'emballage de produits agricoles, qui permet de conserver la fraîcheur des produits pendant une durée prolongée en utilisant une structure de conservation et d'emballage, à savoir un sac fermé rempli d'un gaz de protection. Des fleurs cultivées dans un site de culture et des produits agricoles non transformés, tels que des légumes, des fruits ou des plantes, sont emballés de manière fixe, selon la meilleure technique classique exploitant de façon optimale la fraîcheur et la forme des contenus, lors de leur transport vers le consommateurs par le biais des intermédiaires, grossistes ou détaillants. Selon l'invention, les produits agricoles (les fleurs en particulier), tels que légumes, fruits ou plantes, même distribuées en grande quantité et avant l'heure, ne se fanent pas, si bien que le consommateur reçoit des produits agricoles frais qui conservent toutes leurs valeurs nutritives. De plus, dans le cas où les détaillants ne reçoivent pas les produits agricoles dans les délais, ou que ces produits sont laissés sur un présentoir pendant une longue durée, le consommateur pourra encore les acheter sans hésitation dans la mesure où ils restent frais et conservent toutes leurs valeurs nutritives.
