WHEN THE COLD CHAIN GETS TOUGH, YOUR SO 2 SHEETS SHOULDN’ T— BALANCED PROTECTION THAT KEEPS GRAPES IN TOP CONDITION TO DESTINATION

South African table grapes face some of the toughest journeys in the world— long storage, long vessels, sudden heat spikes, port delays, and Botrytis waiting for any gap in protection. And when rain disrupts harvesting, the risk climbs even higher. One weak point in the chain can cost you quality.
That’ s why growers and pack houses across the country choose Uvasys ™ and Proteku ® SO 2 sheets from AgroFresh. Engineered for balanced release, they deliver strong Botrytis control while minimizing SO 2 damage— the combination that keeps stems greener, fruit cleaner, and condition intact for longer all the way to market.
Our SO 2 pads are locally manufactured in Cape Town, backed by four decades of post-harvest expertise and BRCGS-certified standards. So, whether you’ re packing in the Northern Provinces, the Orange River or the Hex, you get the right SO 2 curve, the right moisture management, and the right support when you need it.
