Hazel Tech celebrates its third year of partnership with Freshway Produce – Blue Book Produce.

CHICAGO, IL – Hazel Technologies, Inc., BB #: 302595, a USDA-funded developer of agtech solutions that protect and extend produce quality, celebrates its third year of partnership with Miami, FL-based specialty fruit grower/packer/distributor, Freshway Produce. , Inc. BB #:283031 Freshway specializes in produce including white, red and yellow dragon fruit, ramtan, as well as other tropical fruits such as star fruit. In the year Starting in 2019, the company implemented Hazel Technologies’ flagship product, Hazel 100, to improve the quality of its US-grown dragon fruit and is committed to using the technology throughout the 2022 season.

Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya, is still considered a relatively new crop in the United States, but as an agricultural marketing resource center, the country’s oversupply of tropical fruits is growing in popularity. The fruit is native to South and Central America, but is grown commercially in California, Florida, and Hawaii to meet demand. One of the primary struggles for the dragon fruit market is the product’s short shelf life. With their products shipped nationally, Freshway turned to Hazel for a technological solution to this industry-wide problem.

“At Freshway, our mission is to expand consumer awareness of exotic fruits and vegetables. “Hazel 100 and the Hazel Tech team have become an integral part of our mission to provide our retail, wholesale and food service customers with the highest quality and variety of fresh produce,” said Jose Roggiero, President and CEO of Freshway Produce. For us to achieve such great platforms for our customers. We look forward to working with them in the years to come.

“The real benefit of investing in a HazelTech product like the Hazel 100 is that our technologies can be vertically integrated into your existing production process,” says Joe Parker, Account Executive at Hazel Technologies, “adding one simple step to your operations, e.g. Dropping a bag in a box, you can extend the quality of the products shipped to all your customers.
