“An estimated 45% of all fruits and vegetables are either lost or wasted across the food supply chain. That’s nearly $1 trillion worth of fresh produce lost every year.

PostHarvest’s award-winning device can predict and forecast produce ripening up to 9 months in advance while simultaneously measuring the health of products in real-time. In recent trials, this allows for safer storage, less manual labour, and up to 40% less waste.

Our product pays for itself and has orders from some of the world’s largest supermarkets and industry names.

We have received multiple awards, grants, and match funding.”

John Shannon, CEO, Postharvest Technologies
