The invention relates to a vegetable box which is capable of preserving the products in the box in a fresh state and for an extended period of time by exchanging the air composition inside the box via the respiration and photosynthesis of the fresh fruits/vegetables, and thus ensuring the oxygen and/or carbon dioxide to reach the target partial pressure and stabilizing the same at these values. The invention is characterized by comprising a lock sensor (6) which is arranged in the internal portion of the body (1) at the section where the body (1) contacts with the cover (2) and which senses the opening/closing of the cover (2); a gas sensor (7) which is disposed inside the body (1) and which measures the partial pressure of the oxygen and/or carbon dioxide gases inside said body (1), and then informs the control unit (9) of the obtained pressure values; and an electronic control unit (9) which, using the information from the lock sensor (1) and gas sensor (7), activates/deactivates the lighting unit (8) and which is disposed in the body (1).
