The Covid-19 pandemic created many challenges for fruit exporters. Cargo space is limited, shipping fees are soaring, and deliveries are delayed. These conditions affect the product quality of fruit in storage or in transport, and that has an impact on the profit margin. As a result, the demand for fresh-keeping solutions rapidly expanded. There is a growing market demand for 1-MCP products. SPM Biosciences (Beijing) Inc. is a company specialized in post-harvest fresh-keeping services. Company spokesperson Debby recently introduced the uses and advantages of their Angel Fresh fresh-keeping products for apples in storage.
Some retailers have begun to use fresh-keeping products in the retail segment of the supply chain because extensive delays have begun to affect the product quality of apples. "There are many importers and exporters who inquire after our Angel Fresh fresh-keeping sachet. This product is easy to use and convenient. Clients just need to place the sachet in a fruit box with a lined bag, and that is all," said Debby. "We can also provide customized fresh-keeping solutions for different packaging and diverse usage scenarios."
In addition to the usage of fresh-keeping sachets in the retail segment, 1-MCP products are also commonly used on apples in cold storage facilities. Major apple production areas around the globe already make use of 1-MCP fresh-keeping products.
"1-MCP is highly effective in keeping apples fresh after the harvest. 1-MCP products can effectively extend the shelf life of apples in storage, and effectively help improve apples water/firmness loss, and flavor changes under shipment delayed situation. In this way, 1-MCP products maintain freshness and extend the shelf life of apples, which helps exporters supply higher quality apples for their clients ” explained Debby.
“Our products are suitable for regular warehouses and cold storage facilities. Of course, using our products together with low temperatures and air conditioning will produce even better results. Using 1-MCP products in cold storage facilities can extend the shelf life of fruit by 50%-200%."
SPM Biosciences (Beijing) is a professional fresh keeping company with almost 10 years of experience in the Chinese market. When asked about the strengths of the company, Debby replied: "We have our own R&D, analysis team, and service team. And our products are already authorized for retail in Argentina and the Dominican Republic, but we are always looking for strategic partners in other countries. In addition to our many fresh-keeping products, we hope to work together with many more vegetable wholesalers, exporters, packers, and commissioned merchants to reduce wastage in the vegetable supply chain. We can also provide interested companies with free samples."
