Perishable food is food that can spoil when not refrigerated or frozen immediately after purchasing or opening. Here are some examples:
Non-perishable farm products are agricultural goods that have a long shelf life and do not require refrigeration to maintain their quality. Examples include grains (like rice and wheat), legumes (such as beans and lentils), dried fruits, canned vegetables, and certain processed foods. These products are often preserved through drying, canning, or packaging methods that inhibit spoilage. They are essential for food security and can be stored for extended periods without losing nutritional value.
Normal practise is if fresh perishable transport should be done either in reefer vehicle or atmospherically controlled vehicle. Non perishable can be transported via normal truck.

Perishable farm products like fruits and vegetables are typically stored in refrigerated environments at specific temperature and humidity levels to slow down the ripening process. They are transported in refrigerated trucks to maintain freshness. Non-perishable farm products like grains are stored in dry, well-ventilated areas to prevent mold or insect infestation. They are transported in standard trucks or containers and processed through cleaning, sorting, and packaging methods to maintain quality.

perishable products are inelastic products as they have less substitutes as compared to durable products which have more substiutes
Examples: cereals, fruits, vegetables, milk and dairy products, meat products, fish etc.

Typically in cold storage warehouses perishable items are stored as the cold temperature increases the lifespan of the products. Some examples are meat products or ice cream.
