What happens after harvest?

Even under optimal conditions, grapes continue
to evolve: the stem loses freshness,
berries become more vulnerable, and the risk increases
of detachment and decay.

Every day affects
commercial quality.

Post-harvest table grapes for export preservation with Retarder+
1-MCP active ingredient for ethylene control in table grapes 1-MCP active ingredient for ethylene control in table grapes

The 1-MCP active ingredient
Acting on the process, not on the effects.

RETARDER+ uses a sticker applied inside the package. Humidity activates the controlled release of 1-MCP, which binds to ethylene receptors and slows its action. The result is slower ripening and quality that remains more stable over time.

  • Timed release
  • One sticker per package
  • Compatible with traditional SO2 pads
Shattering and berry drop reduction in table grapes with Retarder+

Less shattering.
More commercial value.

Shattering (berry detachment) reduces weight, visual quality and commercial value. Ethylene control keeps the stem more stable and strengthens the berry attachment point.
