dc.description.abstractMore than 12,000 farmers in India have adopted the Enhanced Freshness Formulation (EFF), which contains hexanal as an active ingredient; 80% report benefiting from the delayed harvest and increased income. Huge quantities of fruit can be treated by smallholder farmers in 5 minutes, making adoption easy. These innovations improve supply management by extending the growing and marketing season, helping prevent a market glut, which enables farmers to sell their produce at a higher price. The next challenge is scaling up these solutions. Once patents are issued, the “green nanotech” technology will be commercially produced and made available to packers in India and other countries.en
