The Citrashine Long Life coating is a DECCO innovation to successfully market citrus under the most demanding conditions. "We're talking about exports to countries outside the European Union, such as China, Canada, South Africa, Brazil ... as well as to the conservation of varieties highly appreciated by consumers, allowing them to increase their marketing window."
"The Decco Ibérica R+d+i team launched Citrashine Long Life on the market in 2019 to allow the arrival of our citrus fruits in the Asian market while maintaining their quality. Since then, DECCO Iberica's team has worked to improve Citrashine Long Life performance season after season, making it one of the benchmarks for preserving citrus quality in the best conditions."
"The eastern market is known for its high demand. The fruit must arrive in perfect visual conditions without any skin defects. The smallest stain caused by the cold will devalue its value and could affect the commercial relationship worked with our commercial partner at the destination. Our citrus fruits are shipped more than 9,000 km at an average sustained temperature of 1.5° C. We have to turn to the most effective solutions available to deal with these harsh conditions."

"The Spanish citrus industry has a great reputation in international markets and this deserved recognition is the result of its continuous work to improve, constant innovation, and very hard effort. The quality of our fruit is well known, which is why DECCO has adapted Citrashine Long Life for the conservation of citrus fruits with the highest economic value, lengthening their conservation window and allowing producers to offer the fruits that offer the best returns for a longer time. It's our contribution to maintain our sector's reputation."
"The results achieved by the Citrashine Long Life coating are excellent, and its effectiveness has been tried and tested in multiple varieties and situations."

Taking care of the citrus skin when they face these demanding challenges is very important; DECCO Iberica coatings are capable of delaying the senescence of the fruit, reducing its respiration rate, therefore slowing their deterioration process.
Extreme conditions require extraordinary solutions:
Long conservation
Varieties with high economic value
Long-haul exports
"You can count on DECCO Iberica and our recommendations so that the fruit is preserved in the best possible way so consumers can enjoy an experience that continues to increase the reputation of the Spanish citrus sector."
