PostHarvest

Agribusiness is one of the largest industries in the world, valued at approximately $US 1.4 trillion a year. While this figure is astounding, there is an ever-expanding percentage of food loss & wastage year-in-year-out.

The main contributor to food waste is fruits and vegetables with a staggering 45% of all post-harvest produce being lost or wasted within the food supply chain. This is roughly 1.3 billion tonnes of food, which equates to $US 680 billion dollars worth of wasted produce not reaching an end consumer each year.

To combat this industry problem, PostHarvest have created the most accurate real-time, ripening sensor in the world, to help monitor the health of fresh produce shipments within supply chain storage.

PostHarvest technology cost-effectively detects extremely low levels of gas in the atmosphere, as a way of tracking fresh produce quality as it is moved through the supply chain.

PostHarvest’s sensor device collects atmospheric data on a regular cycle, providing highly accurate predictions of ripening timelines; without ever having to handle the product.

Combined with a software program that has the ability to collect any and all data from the Environmental Sensor’s reads and then forward that data on to subscribers in the form of real-time notifications.
