📍 Did you know a single apple can turn your potatoes into a sprouting mess? It's all about ethylene gas!

Climacteric fruits like apples and bananas release it, accelerating ripening (and spoilage) in their non-climacteric counterparts, like strawberries and grapes.

What other surprising produce pairings have you learned to avoid? 💬 Comment below!🍎🥔

Understanding climacteric vs. non-climacteric produce is key to longer shelf life. That's where KaFresh post-harvest spray comes in, extending freshness for both types!

Did you know that in Sub-Saharan Africa, up to 50% of fruits and veggies are lost due to poor storage methods? In rural areas, about 60% of food loss happens on the farms or during the first stages of distribution.

Farmers at Masii Cooperative Society use evaporative charcoal coolers to keep their mangoes fresh for about two weeks, but these coolers need a steady water supply. Enter KaFresh! This natural postharvest spray can extend the preservation time to 3-4 weeks by slowing ripening and preventing and controlling bacterial and fungal infections.

By using KaFresh along with the charcoal coolers, farmers can double their shelf-life and profits! At SVT, we support smallholder farmers with effective alternatives that work with what they know and use.
