Really? I've only seen this practice on the American continent and I've always wondered.
These days I get my produce directly to my front door from a farmer. This stuff lasts for at least a week, often much longer. Compared to the produce from supermarkets that seem to rot on the way home already.
i used to work in a produce department and I can confirm that this is because the produce in stores is usually months old before it hits the shelf and everything is kept cold to make sure it only rots once it's been purchased. Except for the 2-5% of all stock we were expected to throw away on a daily basis because it had already spoiled, or didn't look nice enough.
Here's an article on the subject, and yes, it seems the misting is just to trick people into thinking "ooooh, fresh!"
