The HarvestHold Fresh technology utilizes a gradual humidity-released formulation of 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) to significantly extend the shelf-life of fresh produce by up to 50 percent compared to traditional shipping methods, thus reducing food waste and creating efficiencies throughout the supply chain. The PMRA's rigorous evaluation process ensures that the solution meets Canada's stringent health and environmental standards, offering Canadian growers, packers, and retailers a trusted solution to maintain produce freshness from crop to cart.
"Our team has worked diligently to ensure that our product meets the high standards set by the Canadian regulatory agency, and we're thrilled to now bring it to the Canadian market," said Gordon Robertson, CEO of Verdant Technologies. "The approval from PMRA validates the effectiveness of HarvestHold and aligns with our commitment to advancing sustainable agricultural solutions. We're excited about the opportunity this creates for our Canadian partners and the broader agricultural community to benefit from reduced waste and improved produce longevity."
