FRESH PRODUCE

The Challenge

Most fresh produce is a highly perishable and delicate product making its handling and shelf life a challenge. With averages of produce shriveling at up to 12%, according to official research, post-harvest yield loss costs growers, processors, retailers and consumers billions each year. Professionally packing of fresh produce prevents lost dramatically, makes it more appealing and provides nutritional values for longer time.

Technology

Fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs continue to respire after they have been harvested. This process consumes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide, water and heat. By reducing their respiration rate, maintaining the optimal humidity level and letting for the right post-harvest treatments, we help keeping these packaged products fresh much longer than that of unpacked or standardly packed produce by maintaining the quality of the product – its taste, aroma, texture & appearance and preventing weight loss.
