🥝 Advancing Kiwi CA Research facility for Better Storage and Profitability
The goal of fruit research is to gain deeper insights into how fruits behave during storage and their shelf life. 📊 While high-value fruits can be highly profitable, the impact of post-harvest losses cannot be overlooked.
Van Amerongen has been proudly supporting customers worldwide by providing a variety of Research Facilities tailored for fruit studies. 🌍 One such success story comes from our customer in New Zealand, who installed our Flex Max system to:
🔍 Identify quality loss issues
📈 Generate valuable data during storage
🚀 Optimize CA conditions for fruits
💡 Develop effective protocols to maximize profits in commercial applications
With the insights gained from this research facility, they’ve scaled up dramatically—from 0 to 300 CA rooms—to store their green, golden, and red kiwis at a commercial scale! 🥝✨
This is a testament to how innovative research facilities can transform the way we store and preserve fruits, ensuring freshness, reducing losses, and maximizing profitability. 🌱💼
