A container for holding produce with ventilation for ethylene gas emitted from the produce within the container, the container comprising: a bottom portion having a perimeter; at least a sidewall portion extending upwardly from the bottom portion , the sidewall portion including a first side portion, a second side portion, an upper portion, and a lower portion, the lower portion of the sidewall portion being attached to the bottom portion proximate the perimeter thereof, the bottom portion and the sidewall portion defining a cavity for holding the produce therein; and a rim portion proximate to the upper portion of the sidewall portion , the rim portion including an upper surface, a lower surface, an outer edge portion, and an inner edge portion, the upper surface being oriented away from the bottom portion , wherein the upper portion of the sidewall portion includes an indentation proximate the rim portion and extending into a portion of the cavity from the sidewall portion , the indentation including a first surface proximate and adjacent to the rim portion, the first surface protruding into the cavity, the first surface being substantially along a plane transverse to the sidewall portion, the first surface including an aperture therethrough proximate the rim portion , the aperture having a length and a width, the length being greater than the width, the aperture being sized and configured to facilitate fluid communication between the exterior of the container and the cavity, the aperture being proximate to the rim portion provides an open exit for the free flow of rising ethylene gas near the top of the container to minimize the amount of ethylene gas within the container naturally emitted from the produce held in the container . a bottom portion having a perimeter; at least a sidewall portion extending upwardly from the bottom portion , the sidewall portion including a first side portion, a second side portion, an upper portion, and a lower portion, the lower portion of the sidewall portion being attached to the bottom portion proximate the perimeter thereof, the bottom portion and the sidewall portion defining a cavity for holding the produce therein; and a rim portion proximate to the upper portion of the sidewall portion , the rim portion including an upper surface, a lower surface, an outer edge portion, and an inner edge portion, the upper surface being oriented away from the bottom portion , wherein the upper portion of the sidewall portion includes an indentation proximate the rim portion and extending into a portion of the cavity from the sidewall portion , the indentation including a first surface proximate and adjacent to the rim portion, the first surface protruding into the cavity, the first surface being substantially along a plane transverse to the sidewall portion, the first surface including an aperture therethrough proximate the rim portion , the aperture having a length and a width, the length being greater than the width, the aperture being sized and configured to facilitate fluid communication between the exterior of the container and the cavity, the aperture being proximate to the rim portion provides an open exit for the free flow of rising ethylene gas near the top of the container to minimize the amount of ethylene gas within the container naturally emitted from the produce held in the container . <EOS>
