Don’t trust just anyone with your fresh produce. Bring in the experts.
Why Fumigation for Fresh Produce?
Fresh fruits and vegetables are often subjected to Quarantine and Pre-Shipment (QPS) fumigation before being allowed entry into the United States due to their risk for harboring pests. Additionally, certain countries will not accept imports unless they have been fumigated in advance. Even if it’s not required, fumigating our food supply protects U.S. domestic agriculture from invasive species as well as keeps our fruits and vegetables safe for consumption. So, while it may not always be your choice whether you should fumigate the vegetables or fruits you’re importing, it is often preferred. Don’t just trust those fruits and vegetables to just anyone. Trust Western Fumigation.
5 Reasons to Choose Western Fumigation for Fresh Produce Fumigation
Confidence: Fumigation is a heavily regulated industry. You need a company that is highly committed to safety, security, and compliance throughout every step in the fumigation process. That’s Western Fumigation.
Partnership: Not all countries’ fresh fruit and vegetable exports require fumigation, it all depends on the pest risk. You need a fumigation company that can navigate the requirements with you – as a partner.
Availability: Western Fumigation has the largest fumigation facility in the country at Gloucester Terminals in New Jersey, and we have expanded our fumigation capacity with the addition of operations at Penn Terminals. With access to multiple ports of entry, we are there when you need us.
Innovation: We are working on an alternative, more sustainable fumigant, eFume™. It is close to coming to market for table grapes from Chile and we expect to expand it to other fresh fruit imports. So, we’re not just thinking about fumigation – we’re thinking forward to more innovative ways to fumigate!
