PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 28, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- AgroFresh
Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:AGFS), a global leader in produce freshness
solutions, announced today the expansion of two patent-protected
and proven solutions. Near-harvest formulation Harvista™ SC
received regulatory approval in Australia and pre-transplant technology
LandSpring™ WP obtained approval for tomatoes in California.
"The newly approved Harvista SC and LandSpring WP
registrations are evidence of our commitment to investing in
and expanding the footprint of our key technologies into new
international markets," says AgroFresh CEO Jordi Ferre. "The benefit for our customers is
even greater, as our pre-harvest technology provides advantages
from the early growth stage, ultimately resulting in superior
produce quality, loss reduction and a bigger return."
Harvista technology enables growers to expand the harvest
window to keep fruit on the tree for optimal color, size and
firmness. The extension of this easy-to-apply formulation will arm
Australian growers with the ability to deliver better fruit quality
and taste profile, the same capability as their counterparts in the
Americas.
LandSpring technology supports seedling quality by easing
transplant shock in plants and blocking the effects from early
environmental stressors to generate more abundant, higher-quality
yields. Growers in most parts of the U.S. have used LandSpring
since 2016; now California tomato
seedling growers can benefit. California represents approximately 80 percent
of the U.S. market for processing tomatoes, marking the recent
extension a significant boost in AgroFresh's strategic growth.
California growers can get
access to LandSpring through TS&L Seed Company, AgroFresh's
exclusive distributor of LandSpring in California.
