Busted wood crates

Wood produce crates are used when produce needs to cool quickly for storage and to retard spoilage. The large slots in the crate allow free air circulation around and within the crate. Although more expensive, wood is favored for this use over cardboard because wood crates are stronger, more durable and corrugated cardboard acts as an insulator, keeping the produce warmer, promoting loss to decay.

On Blue Moon, Aljoss states: “Busted wood crates at the produce warehouses. Some planets ship their produce in real wood crates. Someone told me that customers think produce in wooden crates is more natural and traditional, thus gets better prices. Panjo gives me a credit for each five kilo bundle.”, when asked what there is to salvage there.
