If you are not familiar with Intrinsic Safety (IS) or other ways of protecting potentially explosive atmospheres from electrical sources of ignition, don't touch this project with a bargepole. It requires specialist engineering at a high level of competence. There may also be regulatory issues, which will vary from country to country.One detail that may make this more expensive: fruit ripening with ethylene can be exceptionally explodey. So your sensors, Raspberry Pi and power supply will have to explosion protected.
We don't want to see your project go off with a bang. Image may be NSFW.
