❄️ Industry Snapshot: Cold Chain & Distribution for Indoor Produce

For indoor farms, growing fresh produce is only half the battle—the other half is getting it to customers at peak quality. Cold chain and distribution play a critical role in preserving freshness, shelf life, and food safety from harvest to plate.

Indoor produce often enters the supply chain faster than field-grown crops, sometimes reaching buyers within hours of harvest. This speed reduces the need for long-haul refrigeration, but temperature consistency is still essential. Even short breaks in the cold chain can shorten shelf life and impact quality.

Many indoor farms are rethinking distribution by working directly with local grocers, restaurants, and foodservice providers. These shorter supply chains lower transportation costs, reduce food waste, and allow farms to better control handling standards. Some operators are even investing in on-site cold storage or partnering with local logistics providers for same-day delivery.

As indoor agriculture scales, cold chain efficiency is becoming a competitive advantage. Farms that master post-harvest handling and distribution don’t just deliver fresher produce—they build trust with buyers and protect their margins.
