About the analysis

Quality disorders and diseases in fresh fruit and vegetables can lead to product loss, customer complaints and disruption throughout the supply chain. When your quality-control team cannot determine the cause, or would benefit from an independent expert assessment, Wageningen Food & Biobased Research can help. 

Our postharvest specialists analyse disorders and diseases at any stage of the supply chain. Where necessary, they carry out extended observations to identify the likely root cause and the factors that contributed to the problem. You receive a concise report with the findings and practical recommendations to address the current situation and reduce the risk of recurrence.
