Post Harvest Fruit and Vegetables Fumigation:
- Ethyl formate already approved for use on dried fruits providing near term opportunity
- Experienced team will seek to expand regulatory approvals for ethyl formate to other produce and countries
- Initially target Australia, South Korea and China but relevant to all global markets
Stored Grain On-Farm, Bulk Storage and Pre-Shipment:
- Grain is one of Australia’s largest exports and requires fumigating multiple times along the logistics chain
- Chinese Government focusing on regulating food security and safety and is moving away from toxic fumigation methods
Global Market:
- Relevant for use on a global scale
- Fume8 is a patented system therefore any use of Ethyl Formate for fumigation purposes will be through Fume8 technology.
- Large bulk grain handlers in Australia spend: A$200m to A$250m annually on fumigation
