Renowned for their flavor, freshness, and premium quality, Chilean cherries continue to dominate international markets. With strong demand in Asia, particularly in China, these cherries are delivered to thousands of homes through sophisticated logistics supported by cutting-edge technology. However, climate change, rising temperatures, and prolonged delays during harvest and transit underscore the need for innovative solutions to ensure fruit quality throughout its journey to consumers.
Designed to protect cherries during the critical period from harvest to processing, Harvestech covers leverage state-of-the-art technology to make a significant impact. These covers feature an innovative UV protection system and differential mapping to maintain high, uniform humidity levels without increasing internal temperatures. This minimizes water loss, shields the fruit from external factors such as dust, heat, and light, and preserves its vibrant color, firm texture, and freshness.
Harvestech covers also incorporate unique additives that protect the delicate skin of cherries, ensuring they arrive in international markets with their premium quality intact. This enhanced protection is crucial during seasons marked by higher export volumes, where efficiency across the supply chain is paramount.
Paclife’s commitment to innovation is evident in its range of products designed to maintain the freshness and quality of cherries. Marcela Silva, Post-Harvest Deputy Manager at Paclife, emphasizes:
"At Paclife, we understand how vital it is for our clients to deliver top-quality products to consumers worldwide. That’s why we offer continuous support and tailored solutions to ensure fruits arrive as fresh as the day they were harvested."
Paclife’s technical expertise provides producers with customized solutions to optimize every link in the supply chain. This holistic approach enhances logistics and reinforces the position of Chilean cherries as a standout product in international markets.
With a focus on quality, sustainability, and innovation, Harvestech covers are an essential tool for meeting the challenges of the 2024–2025 season. By ensuring cherries are protected from harvest to final destination, Chile solidifies its position as a global leader, delivering exceptional products to consumers around the world.
