Avocado growers in many regions are facing challenges this season due to bad weather. Among them, about 30% of avocados in Peru are facing the threat of drought. The production season in South Africa has come to an end. Affected by the situation in Russia and Ukraine this season, the export volume has declined. Compared with other production areas, Australia has a large avocado production, with a 56% increase in production and a tripling of export volume compared to the previous season. SPM Biosciences(Beijing) Inc. is a company specializing in post-harvest fresh-keeping services for fruits and vegetables. The company has developed ANGEL FRESH preservative products suitable for avocados. Debby from the company introduced the application and advantages of the product.
Avocados are mainly shipped by sea, and the shipping time ranges from 20 to 45 days depending on the market. The longer the shipping time, the more likely the avocados will ripen and turn black. To this end, we have developed ANGEL FRESH products that are especially suitable for avocados. Using 1-MCP technology, we can reduce the ripening and blackening of avocados during storage and transportation, maintain fruit firmness, reduce weight loss, and keep a great taste.
"Avocados are barely stored. Most of them are packaged and shipped within a short time after harvest and arrive at their destination by sea. The freshness of the fruit directly affects the profitability of retailers. Especially when the market supply and demand are unstable and the sales speed cannot be accurately predicted, how to better ensure the quality during transportation and retailing, and extending the shelf life is a major challenge for the retailers,” Debby said, “Our fresh-keeping sachets for boxed fruit and tablets for containers can solve this problem very well.”
According to Debby, Angel Fresh fresh-keeping sachets have a variety of specifications, are suitable for different packages, and can be applied to all aspects of post-harvest storage and transportation of fruits. The fresh-keeping tablets are used in containers and can be used according to the customized situation. "Debby said, "As the pandemic control is gradually relaxed, major retailers have increased their sales of avocados. Recently, the sales demand for our fresh-keeping sachets and tablets has increased, and the market feedback is very good. We did not expect that they'd be so popular in the market."
SPM Biosciences(Beijing) Inc. has nearly ten years of experience in the Chinese local market and has obtained sales qualifications in countries such as Argentina and the Dominican Republic. Currently, it is looking for sales representatives in other regions. "In addition to the existing products, we hope to cooperate with more vegetable wholesalers, exporters, packers and agents to contribute to reducing the loss of vegetables and fruits in the supply chain. We can also send free samples for testing."
