Assisting Specialty Crop Exports: Low Oxygen Storage and Packaging Systems for U.S. Tree Nuts with Phytosanitary Traceability
Funds tech that verifies low-oxygen storage conditions so U.S. tree nut exports clear other countries' pest rules.
Tree nuts and other durable specialty crops mostly rely on fumigation or freezing to clear other countries' insect and pesticide-residue rules before export, and both options are expensive and slow down the supply chain.
Low-oxygen storage and packaging is already used by tree nut handlers to control pests and preserve quality without chemical residue, but there's no efficient, non-invasive way t…
USDA Foreign Agricultural Service funding for a single project developing technology to verify and trace low-oxygen (modified/controlled atmosphere) storage and packaging conditions for U.S. tree nut exports, addressing phytosanitary and maximum-residue-limit requirements in importing countries such as India, Korea and Japan.
