When Post-Harvest Challenges Strike, Give Your Produce the Invisible Shield It Deserves
Afondo – The Edible Coating That Extends Freshness Naturally
Unpredictable weather, long supply chains, and storage stress threaten harvested produce every day. Afondo offers a clean, science-backed defense: a natural, food-grade and edible coating that extends shelf life, reduces water loss, and preserves quality — all without relying on synthetic chemicals.
Afondo can be applied using existing packhouse equipment, such as spraying or dipping units.
It has no impact on crop ripening and leaves no visible, olfactory, or taste residues on the product surface. Afondo is authorized for use across all fresh fruit categories in Europe, in most countries in the Americas, and in selected markets across Asia and Africa.
