    Enhanced Crop Yield & Quality

    Puts Ripening “On Hold” To Boost Your Storage Potential

    The award-winning technology’s active ingredient, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), is similar to ethylene, a naturally occurring hormone that causes fruit to ripen. SmartFresh™ interacts with ethylene-sensitive sites in the fruit to manage its response to internal and external ethylene sources. This puts the ripening process “on hold” so that softening and over-ripening occur much more slowly.

    Benefits Of The Environment

    SmartFresh helps customers preserve the earth’s resources and minimize their footprint as the technology has made the supply chain for apples more sustainable by reducing over 10 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions out of the air in the U.S., France and Italy. In other countries throughout the world, SmartFresh has reduced CO2 emissions by approximately 342,000 tons.*

    *Extrapolation from 2015-2018 for SmartFresh markets outside of the US, France and Italy
