Freshness is an important concern in the agricultural market. China has continuously increased the requirements for the safe and environmentally friendly use of chemicals in agricultural production. Since fruit is sold in more and more distant markets, especially fruits suitable for export, the Chinese agricultural industry requires efficient methods for maintaining the freshness of a product after the fruit is harvested.
SPM Bioscience (Beijing) Inc. is a company specialized in the management of fruit before and after harvest. A representative for that company, Debby, explained that this industry has seen continuous growth in recent years: "This industry has grown more important because many people demand an increasing volume of fresh fruit. We entered the market in 2014 and have quickly developed since then. We are growing by around 20%-30% per year and have already become one of the leaders in this industry. We continue to expand our market share in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Shandong, which are all important fruit production areas. Over the years we've gathered a large group of loyal clients due to the excellent quality of our products as well as the responsible attitude of our personnel and the high standard of our services."
The main product of SPM Biosciences is 1-MCP, but they have other products as well. According to Debby, "1-MCP is an important product for the improvement of post-harvest efficiency, but 1-MCP can not solve all the ethylene-related problems. For kiwi fruit, mangoes, and bananas, for example, we recommend an ethylene absorbing dose. This dose has undergone multi-varied testing in Spain. The result is good and stable. It is for this reason that we also cooperate with Spanish companies and represent their products in the Chinese market."
"Our main target is the market for fresh fruit and vegetables. We focus on storage, transport, and shelf-life. The market prospects are good. Our main clients are still the traders who store apples and pears, as well as other fruit traders involved in transport. We hope to expand the development of new products. We hope to become a problem-solver in the fresh food industry. We will continue to develop new products and cooperate with key companies in domestic industries and abroad. We offer support to clients, reduce financial loss for farmers, and improve the price-quality ratio of our products."
