The Tiempo Test Green

The Tiempo Test Green measuring device is designed to monitor O2 and CO2 gases in modules during the storage of fruit and vegetables. A portable device suitable for measuring levels in Janny MT modules.

To use it, simply insert the needle into one of the module's septums to take the measurement.

• O2 measurement range: 0 to 20.9%

• CO2 measurement range: 0 to 100%

Janny MT continues to innovate by offering a low-cost, high-performance gas analyser for all producers who want to start using controlled atmosphere storage.

The Tiempo Cap lid for highly breathable products

The Tiempo Cap lid from Janny MT is an innovative controlled atmosphere storage solution specially designed for highly breathable products such as asparagus, pomegranates and passion fruit. Suitable for 610-litre containers, this food-grade ABS lid incorporates six highly selective permeable membranes that create an ideal atmosphere without intervention. Easy to install, it extends the shelf life of products while maintaining their freshness.

Janny MT continues to grow in research and development. With this new lid equipped with membranes and designed for highly respiratory fruits, Janny MT is targeting the exotic fruit sector.

June: Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month

Every June, the United States celebrates Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Month to promote healthy eating and highlight seasonal produce.

But for producers, this period also means abundant harvests in a short period of time. To avoid losses and spread sales, Janny MT controlled atmosphere storage modules are an ideal solution. They keep fruit and vegetables fresh for longer, while preserving their quality. Already adopted by American producers, Janny MT modules help to get more value out of every harvest.

This technology is effective in getting the most out of fresh produce, especially for producers!

Mr. Ferri's experience with Janny MT modules

Ray Ferri, a producer for Country Apple Store in Ontario, Canada, shares his experience using Janny MT modules for asparagus.

"I've had Janny MT modules for over six years. I mainly use them for asparagus, but also for pears. I use them twice a year for asparagus. Growth occurs in peaks, so the modules allow us to manage harvest volumes, avoiding losses and extending the marketing period. The equipment offers greater flexibility, as I can store 170 kg of asparagus for up to four weeks. They are therefore cost-effective, with an attractive return on investment."

Reducing food waste with Janny MT modules

Every year, 2.5 billion tonnes of food are wasted worldwide. North America is one of the biggest contributors, with around 60 million tonnes thrown away each year. This represents nearly 40% of the food supply in these countries. Beyond the major economic and environmental challenges, this waste mainly affects fresh produce, particularly fruit and vegetables, which alone account for around 40% of food waste.

This phenomenon can be explained in part by losses that occur throughout the supply chain. From the moment of harvest, around 8% of fruit and vegetables are lost on farms, with a further 30% lost between the farm and retailers. These losses are often linked to inadequate storage, which leads to rapid deterioration of the products.

In this context, Janny MT controlled atmosphere modules provide a concrete solution. By extending the shelf life of fruit and vegetables without altering their quality, they enable producers to better manage their post-harvest volumes. The harvest can be stored for longer and then sold at the right time, depending on market demand or logistical capabilities.

This control over time and quality significantly reduces losses at source, while limiting those that occur later in the chain, during storage, transport or distribution. Controlled atmosphere storage thus becomes a real lever for more sustainable fresh produce management : less waste, more value and more responsible consumption.

Janny MT: Turkish Distributor

This month, we had the pleasure of welcoming our Turkish distributor for three days of intensive work. These days were dedicated to the deployment of our modules in Turkey, with comprehensive and productive sessions aimed at optimizing the implementation of our solutions in the local market. It was a fruitful collaboration, further strengthening our partnership and future projects with fig, grape, avocado and cherry producers.

Janny MT at Fruit Attraction 2024

Janny MT at Fruit Attraction 2024, the epicenter of the fruit and vegetable trade.

With more than 2,000 exhibitors from 56 countries spread over 10 halls, Fruit Attraction has become an essential venue for the marketing of fresh produce, where innovation, quality and diversity are the main arguments consolidating this event as the major rendezvous for professionals from the world of Fruit and Vegetables.

For 3 days, from October 8 to 10, the Janny MT team was on hand to exchange ideas and information on our canning projects. We'd like to thank all the independent growers, grower organizations and cooperatives for a great time.

Our preserving solution for 53 fruits, vegetables, flowers and mushrooms is positioned at the interface between production and distribution. The Fruit Attraction trade show is the ideal place to analyze product seasonality, map out commercial opportunities linked to preservation, and calculate the return on investment of equipment with growers.

Fruit Attraction is a key moment in the value chain.

We've enjoyed sharing our expertise on a variety of projects including red radishes, chestnuts, passion fruit, garlic, dried fruit...and more.

We are becoming increasingly aware that conservation projects are not only about maintaining the quality of fruit and vegetables, but also about managing labor, improving optimal harvesting times, simplifying planting operations, reducing commercial stress...
