The agricultural sector is witnessing a significant shift with the introduction of advanced preservation technologies aimed at enhancing the shelf-life and safety of tropical fruits and vegetables. A leading enterprise in the agricultural industry has made strides in revolutionizing the supply chain through its proprietary preservation solutions, including a series of products that offer antibacterial, mold-proof properties, and ethylene inhibition for a wide range of agricultural products.
Over the past twenty years, the impact of these innovations has reached fruit and vegetable producers and exporters across South-East Asia, Japan, Korea, Turkey, Egypt, the United States, Mexico, and Central and South America. These technologies have played a crucial role in supplying high-quality fresh or chilled products and reducing losses during the marketing process.
A notable breakthrough came earlier this year with the introduction of a controlled-release formulation for ethylene inhibition, which has received patent certification in Thailand. This new development is applicable to various types of packaging, significantly reducing the ethylene-induced ripening of fruits and vegetables, a common challenge in the industry.
Producers in Thailand, particularly those cultivating ginger, have reported effective reduction in fungal diseases during storage and transportation, thanks to these preservation technologies. With an eye towards expanding its reach, the enterprise showcased its innovations at the Fruit Innovation Fair (FiF 2024), aiming to enhance the overall quality and efficiency of the tropical fruit and vegetable industry.
The beginning of 2024 saw an increased market demand for preservation technologies, driven by dry weather conditions leading to higher rates of field diseases and decreased yields for various fruits. These conditions underscore the importance of innovative solutions in extending the storage time of harvested fruits.
The technology not only focuses on post-harvest preservation but also emphasizes fundamental prevention from field cultivation, providing crops with balanced micronutrients to boost resilience against environmental stressors. This holistic approach has yielded tailored preservation solutions for tropical fruits such as mangosteen and mangoes, facilitating exports to economically advanced regions like Japan and North America.
The concept has also attracted interest from Malaysian visitors, particularly for durian producers as they prepare for the upcoming harvesting season. The enterprise’s continuous collaboration with distributors worldwide and participation in international conferences, such as the BioSolutions Conference & Expo in Visalia, California, highlights its commitment to transforming the agricultural supply chain.
Partners interested in joining the movement to revolutionize the agricultural supply chain, especially in the American market, are encouraged to explore these innovative solutions.
