Clean Crop Technologies

Post-harvest decontamination of seeds and foods

Overview

Clean Crop Technologies decontaminates agricultural products by using a combination of electricity and food-grade gases to kill pathogens and pests on seeds and food items. The technology is applied to seeds, grains, and other crops to reduce contamination, extend shelf life, and lower spoilage. The system is offered as a service or via specialized equipment sold to customers in the agricultural and food-processing sectors, aligning revenue with helping clients reduce losses and increase profitability. Unlike most post-harvest treatments, this approach uses an integrated electrical/gas process to inactivate contaminants without relying on traditional chemical fumigants. The company’s goal is to improve food safety, protect crop yields, minimize food waste, and strengthen the efficiency of the supply chain.
