Decentralized, Smarter Solutions, Less Waste and Sustainable
At TrasaTEC, we tackle global post-harvest loss by empowering farmers with our modular ON-FARM & NEAR-FARM food processing machines and systems, along with industrial-scale equipment for aseptic & canning, low-temperature dehydration and ultra-freezing (IQF). Our revolutionary One-Touch operation technology powered by IoT enables simple remote control and decentralized operations—substantially reducing carbon footprints. By bringing cutting-edge solutions directly to the farm, we help maximize farm income and profitability while creating smarter, greener food processing systems that minimize waste and enhance sustainability.
Post-harvest food loss arises from poor post harvest handling infrastructure and lack of decentralized preservation facilities.
Market dynamics also contribute to wastage, during bumper harvest farmers worry that traders may not purchase their produce at desired prices, very often this happens, resulting in unsold goods and wastage. They don't have an option to fall back from greedy bargaining intermediaries & buyers. Consequently, they often sell their produce at prices below the production cost, often resulting in deep loss.
Addressing these issues necessitates improved post harvest storage, immediate on farm or near farm processing for value addition & preservation and dynamic logistics. Combining processing technology and policy interventions can mitigate post-harvest losses for a more sustainable food system.
In the least developed & developing countries, post-harvest food loss occurs due to inadequate processing and challenging logistics infrastructure. Conversely, in developed countries, due to large scale monocropping and aesthetic profiling and excessive production coupled with limited access to affordable preservation methods often results in food waste ending up in landfills.
Post-harvest loss is a universal challenge worldwide.
