The invention provides a method of, and and apparatus for, storing produce under controlled conditions. The invention is advantageously embodied in a transport container so that produce is maintained under controlled conditions during transportation. As with many controlled atmosphere storage or transportation systems, a nitrogen-rich gas and carbon dioxide gas are supplied to the container when required. However, to provide a compact and efficient system, the invention provides that the nitrogen gas be generated from the ambient air surrounding the container using an air splitter while the carbon-dioxide is generated from a store of dry-ice.
