The Future of Freshness: How Pre-Cooling and Cold Storage Innovation Extends Produce Shelf Life and Reduces Food Waste
In today’s global food system, one of the biggest challenges is keeping fresh produce at peak quality from the moment it leaves the field until it reaches the consumer’s table. Nearly 40% of fresh fruits and vegetables are lost each year due to spoilage, much of it...
Rethinking the Cold Chain: 8 Shifts Reshaping Post-Harvest Logistics
As global food systems evolve, the post-harvest supply chain is undergoing rapid transformation. Producers, logistics operators, and retailers are all navigating a more complex landscape—one where precision, sustainability, and transparency are no longer optional but...
Cool Smarter, Not Harder: The Critical Role of Ice Injector Precooling
In the high-stakes world of produce logistics, freshness is non-negotiable. From harvest to market, every minute counts—and every degree matters. That’s where precooling comes in, and more specifically, ice injector precooling: a powerful, efficient method that’s...
AI-Powered Cold Chain Technology: The Future of Fresh Produce Distribution
From farm to family dinner tables, the journey of fresh produce depends on one thing: a reliable, efficient cold chain. In 2025, artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how fruits and vegetables are handled, cooled, stored, and delivered. At PHT Investment Group,...
Innovations in Pre-Cooling and Cold Chain Technologies in the U.S.
Across the United States, the conversation around food security, waste reduction, and climate resilience is increasingly tied to one critical element: the cold chain. From harvest to table, maintaining the right temperature and timing is essential not only for...
A Greener Approach: The Journey to Energy Efficiency
As global demand for fresh produce rises and the agricultural supply chain becomes more sophisticated, the cold storage and precooling industry is undergoing a quiet but powerful transformation. The shift? Toward greater energy efficiency, sustainability, and...
From Field to Fork: How Integrated Cold Storage and Pre-Cooling Solutions Protect Produce Quality and Reduce Food Waste
When fresh produce leaves the field, the clock starts ticking. Every hour without proper cooling and handling reduces shelf life, impacts quality, and increases the risk of waste. For growers, packers, and distributors, protecting that value requires a seamless cold...
How FMG Powers Freshness from Field to Market
When you pick up a fresh bag of spinach, a box of strawberries, or a pack of carrots at your local grocery store, it’s easy to assume they were harvested recently and brought directly to the store. But behind the scenes is an intricate cold chain system—and Facilities...
Who Leads in Post-Harvest Cold Chain Technology—And What the U.S. Needs to Catch Up
When it comes to feeding the world, a robust post-harvest cold chain system is just as vital as the ability to grow high-quality produce. Without efficient handling, cooling, storage, and transport infrastructure, a significant portion of harvested food spoils before...
