Infrastructure at Your Service
For fruit to travel safely from the branch to the retail shelf, flawless handling is essential. Our post-harvest infrastructure is built for the most delicate crops, and the cooling, grading and storage capacity that protects AKOFRUITS quality every day is now open to our partners.
Controlled Atmosphere Storage
Our storage complexes hold up to 4,000 tonnes in controlled atmosphere (CA/ULO). For each crop and variety we set the oxygen level and temperature precisely, slowing the fruit’s metabolism almost to a standstill. Ripening is held back, and the crunch, firmness and flavour of the harvest keep for months, so the fruit leaves storage in excellent condition even at the end of the season.

Optical Grading and Sorting
We grade on AI-driven optical lines by Aweta and Ser.mac, global leaders in the field. Sensitive cameras and sensors scan every fruit for the slightest defects and measure its colour, weight and size, then sort it into the classes and calibres of your specification. Your product is consistently graded, without the variability of manual sorting, and ready for the requirements of major retail chains.

Hydrocooling
A crucial step for delicate crops such as sweet cherries and stone fruit, which need care straight after harvest. A shower of ice-cold water quickly removes the field heat that damages fruit. Cooling it rapidly and evenly to the core sharply slows respiration, reduces moisture loss and markedly extends shelf life in store.

Professional Packaging
Our in-house packing facility prepares consignments to the standards of major retail chains. We offer flexible formats, from bulk export cartons to consumer packs of different sizes. Good packaging shows the fruit at its best and protects it all the way to the end customer.
