AgroFresh Solutions, Inc. (AGFS), a global leader in produce freshness solutions, and Zest Labs™, Inc. (ZEST), an AgTech company modernizing the post-harvest fresh food supply chain, announced recently a strategic collaboration between AgroFresh and Zest Labs to strengthen their end-to-end solutions. AgroFresh will incorporate Zest Labs' Zest Fresh™ solution into its FreshCloud™ Transit Insights platform. The agreement will utilize both companies' resources and strengths to provide customers with a comprehensive solution that improves operations, increases visibility into produce shelf life and reduces food waste.

With decades of experience and expertise in the science of produce freshness, AgroFresh helps its customers preserve freshness, extend peak ripeness, maximize yield and ultimately, prevent food waste. Zest Fresh, provides analytics and freshness management expertise that will complement the AgroFresh FreshCloud platform by strengthening the end-to-end visibility of key freshness metrics through distribution.

Zest Fresh, with its real-time data and predictive analytics capabilities provides growers, distributors and retailers with autonomous, field-to-shelf product visibility that reduces waste and retail shrink up to 50 percent or more. As a result of this collaboration, the expertise and insight embedded in AgroFresh's FreshCloud solution will benefit more customers across more crops.
