INCORPORATING COLD CHAIN
I do have extra news for you – we have now designed an even better airflow system from an airflow point of view and designed an integrated pallet / fruit box system that is unique . But hey , again , I am not going to shout at you , that does not help .
We get requests from all over the world to come and talk about our philosophy and techniques , only to find out that on the local scene , there are more people that enjoy giving serious misinformation on the subject .
Instead of facing the reality that when you pay attention to detail and you don ’ t leave preserving quality after harvest to chance , you help the farmer . By not doing the correct thing , you are hammering the survival of the farm . It is that simple .
Cees Nijssen , who sadly passed away last year , always told me : “ Jan , applied postharvest technologies can make or break a farm .” I will never forget that saying . If you apply the correct postharvest technologies at the correct place and time in the process , you will see that it works .
Unfortunately , some individuals seem to be finding it funny to keep on giving farms the wrong and / or incomplete information . And although I do have a good sense of humour , some jokes are simply incomprehensible and are in fact not funny at all .
I for one , have no clue where and how to find a proper and logical explanation why one should do that in the first place , and it goes against my professional grain to ever do that in the second place .
My grandfather taught me , if you don ’ t know , ask , look it up , study the subject , otherwise simply keep quiet . So , we never shouted at anybody in the first place to try to convince them to listen to us , if you want , you will listen without me talking .
The moral of this story ? A wheelbarrow has a wheel and two handles only to be picked up and made to work . If you do not , it will rust and become a useless piece of metal that is in the way . It is all about delivering quality and if you do not deliver it , somebody else will . CLA
If you apply the correct postharvest technologies at the correct place and time in the process , you will see that it works www . frigairexpo . co . za
