Due to the nature of the fruit and packaging, quality defects and poor condition become highly visible, meaning rejections are common. Across multiple commercial trials RYPEN has reduced berry collapse, bleed and dehydration.

Raspberries are a quintessentially mid-summer fruit that grows best in high light levels with cooler nights. They are renowned as the most challenging berry to grow commercially due to their delicate nature.
Modern varieties in supermarkets are the result of years of cross-breeding trials; with ‘Maravilla,’ ‘Adelita’, ‘Rosita’ and ‘Tulameen’ all offering improved sweetness, larger berries, extended harvest periods and all-important shipping robustness.
The key to unlock consumer taste buds is having a juicy, aromatic flavour with balanced sweetness and acidity. The global export season for red raspberries generally spans June to October in Europe and North America, and November to April in the southern hemisphere. Key export regions include Mexico, Morocco, Poland, Portugal and Spain; but all domestic markets have their own seasons.
