"Fruit Attraction is one of the most important trade shows in Europe and key for the Spanish market," said Julián Herráiz, AgroFresh general manager. "We look forward to welcoming our valued customers, colleagues and industry partners to our booth during the show. It should be a great experience for everyone involved with this incredible event."
For this 2024 edition, AgroFresh will showcase a portfolio of post-harvest solutions designed to empower growers, packers, and retailers "to deliver quality produce from harvest to home". Among all those solutions, three solutions being featured at the show include:
Strella monitoring devices
With Strella monitoring devices, packers and shippers can optimize apple and pear room opening with real time data. A solution appreciated by users for several reasons : "Strella is integrated into the AgroFresh FreshCloud™ digital platform. The sensor technology enhances real-time monitoring of apple and pear ripening process, with that offers packers an eye into their storage rooms and help them optimize the room opening. Strella helps packers open the right room at the right time. The sensors monitor ethylene, CO2, O2, temperature and humidity in the CA room throughout the season and display real-time data to predict the maturity of the room".
SmartFresh™ Quality System
This solution helps maintain fruit quality, freshness, flavor and appearance. Available for multiple crops such as apple, plums, persimmons or kiwifruit, SmartFresh Quality System is a post-harvest treatment that helps keep produce fresh longer by slowing down the ripening process.
Uvasys™ and Berrisys™
Those two solutions have been on the AgroFresh portfolio since last year, when AgroFresh acquired Tessara. Uvasys has been the market leader in SO2 (sulfur dioxide) sheets for more than 38 years. They are laminated sheets that release sulfur dioxide (SO2) to protect grapes and blueberries (respectively) from fungal decay during storage and transport. "Uvasys and Berrisys can help minimize the spread of decay, especially from Botrytis cinerea, by up to 80%. For Uvasys we have proven results up to 16 weeks of storage period on grapes, and for Berrisys, can help extend the blueberry shelf life by up to 49 days (42 days cold storage & 7 days shelf life)". Agrofresh has similar SO2 sheets also for tomatoes and flowers (called Tomasys and Florasys).
Event attendees are invited to stop by to speak with AgroFresh experts about the wide range of innovative freshness solutions and technical expertise in post-harvest.
