About Us

The why and the team behind PostHarvest Technologies

At PostHarvest, we’re dedicated to transforming the fresh produce industry through innovative post harvest management solutions. Our journey began with a specific focus on addressing a critical need in the kiwifruit industry - the accurate measurement of ethylene in a low Parts Per Billion (PPB) range. Recognising the profound impact ethylene can have on the ripening process and overall quality of fruits and vegetables, we developed cutting-edge technology to provide precise measurements, empowering suppliers and distributors with actionable insights.

Our in-room solution helps to monitor and mitigate ethylene's adverse effects but also enhance overall freshness, flavour, texture, and appearance of fresh produce.

Through the development of our low PPB technology, we diversified our product offering to read all the way up to a high parts per million (PPM) range, allowing us to cater to all fresh produce categories.

Our solutions are designed to prolong shelf life, preserve quality, and reduce overall losses. By optimising storage practices and conditions, we empower growers and suppliers to deliver superior produce to consumers worldwide.

At PostHarvest, we are driven by a passion for innovation and a commitment to sustainability. By harnessing the power of technology and scientific insights, we empower stakeholders across the food supply chain to optimise operations, reduce waste, and deliver superior quality produce to consumers globally.

Join us in shaping the future of post harvest management and ushering in a new era of freshness, quality, and sustainability in the agricultural industry.

Having secured five major international awards, grants, and recognition, PostHarvest is scaling up production to provide its technology to every major food operator worldwide.

With PostHarvest’s technology and education, it's estimated that we can reduce food loss to 7% within the storage cycle by 2030.
