Abstract:
1. An insect and mold resistant pesticide-free transport system for long-term storage and transport of a dry agricultural commodity having a weight of 10-2,000 kilograms, the system comprising: (1) a flexible, hermetic long-term storage container for containment and hermetic sealing of the dry agricultural commodity therein, the flexible, hermetic long-term storage container comprising: wherein said long-term storage container is sized to hold a commodity having a weight of 10-2,000 kilograms and is configured to provide the commodity with protection from insect infestation and mold growth solely based upon the ultra-low permeability packaging material and without the use of a pesticide; and (2) an hermetic sealing mechanism for hermetic sealing of said long-term storage container, wherein said hermetic sealing mechanism is configured to limit oxygen ingress to less than the oxygen consumed by respiration, thus killing insects through lack of a continuous supply of oxygen by sufficiently preventing oxygen from entering the container as solely a result of the ultra-low permeability characteristics, and wherein said long-term storage container, when sealed with said hermetic sealing mechanism, is configured
