Commercialization progress : MOU signed between TNAU and Smart Harvest Agri, Canada to promote technologies to reduce post-harvest losses in perishables

Abstract

The Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), Coimbatore (India) worked in collaboration with the University of Guelph (Canada) in adapting technologies such as pre-harvest spray or post harvest dip of hexanal formulation. They also developed nano-stickers, nano-pellets and nano-film. These technologies affect the entire value chain of fruit production. The document announces the reception of the introduction of the innovations at an event in Colombo, Sri Lanka, attended by leaders in research, government and universities, as well as reporting on the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between TNAU and Smart Harvest Agri, Canada.
