Transcargo to re-use Purfresh to export mandarins

“We chose Purfresh Transport again to help mitigate risk and to provide additional protection to maintain the quality of the mandarins,” said Rodolfo Faccini Pose of Transcargo “Controlling decay and maintaining colour is critical as mandarins are highly susceptible to decay, as well as color change as a result of ethylene build-up during long distance ocean transit. We are thrilled with the high quality of arrivals, and will also continue to use Purfresh Transport for this season’s blueberry shipments.”

Global demand for fresh produce continues to grow at an accelerated rate, offering significant opportunities for the import/export trade to reach broader markets. While fresh perishables are in transit, valuable days of shelf life can be lost and the risk of contamination, decay, and over-ripening increases. According to the company, Purfresh reduces the risk of cargo loss, improves food safety, and helps ensure higher-quality arrivals when shipping fresh produce via ocean transit. Unlike other approaches—such as temperature recorders, traditional controlled atmosphere (CA) systems and fungicides—Purfresh Transport provides full trip transparency along with active atmosphere enhancement to safely prevent decay, control ripening, and reduce food-borne pathogens.

“Growers, shippers, and exporters alike look to maintain fruit quality and improve operations with advanced technologies that are reliable, cost-effective, and can be easily implemented,” said David Bouchard of Purfresh. “The worldwide demand we continue to experience—to export limes, mandarins, blueberries, mangoes, kiwifruit, grapes, melons, papayas, pineapples, stone fruit, and bananas—validates the value our solution brings to the global shipping industry,” he added.
