Since the company was first founded in 2015, over 100 packer-shippers have partnered with Hazel Tech as a post-harvest technology provider. Hazel is a quarter-sized biodegradable and food-safe packaging insert that is placed in the box during packing, which extends the shelf life of a variety of fresh produce items.

Dillon Luallen, Manager, Sierra Sun Fruit Marketing“We have seen excellent results using Hazel Plum® in our export markets,” said Dillon Luallen, Manager at Sanger, CA-based Sierra Sun Fruit Marketing. “Sierra Sun Fruit has seen a 40 percent drop in our product quality claims with our export receivers since working with Hazel Tech.”

The company said results have been strong with stonefruit packer-shippers. In 2018, the University of California-Davis completed a successful stonefruit trial with Hazel Tech. When using Hazel Tech with peaches, plums, nectarines, and apricots, grower-packers have reported up to 40 percent reduction in quality claims and rejections.
