AgSCAN believes that many commodities need its process, and because you may be experiencing economic difficulties in getting product to market, especially distant and foreign markets, because of official restrictions, quarantines or barriers, you will want to explore with AgSCAN the benefits provided to you thru utilization of X-Radiation process for your fresh, frozen or processed foods.
Got Apples?
For example, assume you grow apples in large quantities, and ultimately want to ship these to a foreign market. Your foreign customers have found insect larvae in the fruit, and as a consequence of this the foreign customer imposes costly process requirements that end up costing you another five cents per pound. Plus, the long delay due to the added process requirements extends the time at which you can receive payment for the invoiced sale. Add the cost of harvest money to the process costs and you now have a significant additional cost over the normal growing, harvesting and marketing costs. AgSCAN, Inc., can help you reduce those costs, and perhaps put a few pennies per pound back into your pocket. AgSCAN believes that temperature cycling and heat treatment of fruits lowers the overall quality of the fruit, and for apples reduces firmness to a point of consumer complaint.
Saving you money
By having AgSCAN X-radiation process your fruit, you can eliminate long cold storage costs and get it to market sooner. After harvesting and packing the apples, ship it directly to a nearby AgSCAN facility where it will be processed in a matter of just a few hours, and the insect larvae will be eliminated to meet any inspection criteria. We will perform this feat for just about three cents per pound of market ready fruit. You can make money by not having those ordinary storage and delayed invoicing costs.
And, X-radiation does not involve any noticeable change in temperature above ambient room temp, so you won't see the apple's firmness change.
THANKS, AgSCAN! You have won the day for this grower!
