Problem
Post-harvest decay, moisture loss, and physical damage significantly reduce the quality and shelf life of fruits and vegetables during storage and transport, leading to substantial food waste and economic losses for growers. Current post-harvest treatments often require specialized equipment, energy-intensive processes, and may not be suitable for organic produce.
Solution
Nabaco's NatuWrap® is a water-soluble, all-natural powder that enhances the post-harvest quality of fresh produce. Applied via dip tanks, drenchers, or spray lines, NatuWrap® creates a protective barrier that minimizes moisture loss, reduces decay, and mitigates physical damage such as scald, scuffing, bruising, and pitting. This technology extends shelf life, improves yields, and ensures consistent quality without requiring specialized equipment or constant supervision. By preserving fruit and vegetables in a more natural way, NatuWrap® promotes sustainable farming practices and reduces the environmental burden associated with food waste.
