The apples sold on the market recently are mainly early-ripening apples and goods from cold storage. Due to the reduced supply of apples in cold storage and the uneven quality of early-ripening fruits, the market price of apples has increased steadily. As the sales of seasonal fruits come to an end, the impact on apple sales has weakened. In addition, the long national holidays this year will bring benefits to apple sales in the later period.
SPM Biosciences (Beijing) Inc. is a professional fresh-keeping service company. Debby, from the company, was interviewed by Freshplaza and introduced the company’s “Angel fresh” products that can be used for apple storage and fresh-keeping.
According to Debby, 1-MCP for apple cold storage has been widely used in major apple-producing areas around the world. "1-MCP is an efficient post-harvest apple preservation product that can effectively extend the storage time of apples, effectively avoid the problems of water loss, reduced hardness, and poor taste caused by shipping delays, and extend the shelf life." Debby said, "Both growers and exporters can use it. If it can be used with low temperature, controlled atmosphere and other technologies, fresh products can achieve better results. Using 1-MCP in cold storage can extend the shelf life of fruits by 50 %-200%.”
In addition to powder products used in cold storage, some exporters have begun to use fresh-keeping products in the transportation process. "Many importers and exporters have asked about our Angel Fresh sachets and cards. Its application is very simple and convenient. Just place the product in the package," Debby said. "We can also customize it according to different packaging and applications to provide customized solutions. Our sachets and cards can also provide customized services, and customers can print their own logos to make their own exclusive products."
SPM Biosciences (Beijing) Inc. participated in the Asia Fruit Logistica held in Hong Kong from September 6th to 8th. “This is the first time we have participated in a large-scale exhibition three years after the pandemic. As the pandemic ends and the fruit and vegetable trade returns to normal, we have seen growing market demand for fresh-keeping products. We have nearly ten years of experience in the Chinese local market, have our own R&D, analysis and service teams, and have obtained sales qualifications in countries such as Argentina and the Dominican Republic. Currently, we are looking for sales agents in other regions. "
