Why Fruit Protection Matters
Citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons and mandarins are valued worldwide for their high vitamin C content and versatility. However, after harvesting, they are susceptible to mould, particularly Penicillium digitatum (green mould) and Penicillium italicum (blue mould). Without proper post-harvest treatment, these fungi can cause significant spoilage within a few days, contributing to considerable economic losses and reduced food availability. The aim of modern methods is to preserve quality for as long as possible and reduce losses in a natural way.
Who We Are
SecoFend was founded with a clear mission: to revolutionise post-harvest treatment of citrus fruits by offering a natural, safe alternative to conventional plant protection products. Driven by a vision of sustainable and safe agricultural solutions, we have leveraged our many years of expertise in material and product development to create an innovation that benefits both producers and consumers.
Conventional agriculture relies heavily on chemical fungicides to prevent spoilage and mould. Unfortunately, this comes at the expense of health, as toxic residues can remain on the fruit peel. It is paradoxical: fruits touted as healthy are treated with substances that undermine their benefits. SecoFend challenges this status quo with a better, safer and more sustainable alternative.
