In 2003, AgroFresh first launched its flagship ripening management solution SmartFresh, a premier ethylene post-harvest management tool for fruits, vegetables and florals.

Since then, AgroFresh has pioneered numerous scientific and commercial applications of SmartFresh to keep produce fresher, longer.
