Over 30% of produce harvested is never consumed.
This means that all of the resources: labor, water, money, and energy put into cultivating this produce is also wasted.
At Hazel Technologies, we develop new solutions to reduce this waste in order to improve the efficiency of our fresh produce supply chain.
Our product development is funded in part by the United States Department of Agriculture, and we are proud members of the Western Growers Association (W.G.A.) and Produce Marketing Association (P.M.A.).
