Another shipment of Polish apples, dispatched by the Ewa-Bis company from Warsaw, has arrived in excellent condition after 50 days at one of the most distant corners of the world—this time, the Seychelles.
The excellent condition and quality of the apples delivered to the Seychelles is no accident—the apples were protected for the duration of transport with ethylene-absorbing sachets manufactured by Pomona Company Ltd from Żyrardów.
The apples of the Idared, Golden Delicious, Gala, and Red Jonagold varieties were protected with Eten Sachets by placing one sachet into each carton containing 18 kg of fruit.
The Eten Sachets work by absorbing the ethylene emitted by fruits, which causes them to ripen rapidly, rot, and ultimately lose the qualities required of a marketable product.
As was the case with the recent shipment of apples to Vietnam, once the transport reached its destination, the buyer rated the quality of the apples as excellent, and here too the appearance and firmness of the fruit did not raise the slightest objection.
The delivery of apples to the Seychelles, together with the very positive assessment of their quality, is another important step in building new distant export markets for Polish apples. This is of enormous significance for Polish fruit growers following the loss of the Russian market and the difficulties in selling apples currently stored in cold rooms.
Once again, the high effectiveness of the Eten Sachets has been confirmed, and their use can prevent the situations that have become quite common recently, in which a single delivery of poor-quality fruit immediately creates a negative reputation for Polish exports as a whole.
The Eten Sachets are a patented product, and Pomona Company Ltd is their sole Polish manufacturer.
