Janssen PMP is a leading division of Janssen Pharmaceutica and Johnson & Johnson, with more than 50 years of experience in developing innovative solutions in the field of post-harvest of fresh plant-based foods. Its fundamental mission is to extend the shelf life and preserve the quality of these foods, thus contributing to reducing losses in the food supply chain.
In terms of the products and services offered by this company, the post-harvest business unit has been a pioneer in the key development of ImazalilTM, a fungicide that remains highly effective in protecting citrus fruits. Over the years, they have expanded their product portfolio, which is used in more than 35 countries through their extensive global distribution network.
In the Chilean market, Janssen PMP stands out in the antifungal therapy of various fruits, offering high-quality products such as FUNGAFLOR 50 EC, FUNGAZIL 50 EC, FUNGAFLOR 75 SG, PENBOTEC 40 SC and its innovative 1-MCP FYSIUM, which contribute to maintaining the quality of fresh products during storage and transport.
In turn, one of the main advantages of this company is its commitment to sustainable development and its focus on minimizing the environmental impact of its products, since the company constantly seeks to be at the forefront of global trends in the control of pathologies in the post-harvest, always considering the interaction with the natural environment.
In this regard, Janssen PMP relies on strong partnerships with leading distributors and organizations in each of the markets in which it operates, providing users with a superior level of service and support, beyond the simple sale of products.
On the other hand, and targeting the cherry market in Chile, Janssen PMP offers high-quality products such as PENBOTEC 40 SC, based on Pyrimethanil; a product that has local approval from the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG) and is widely accepted in the main cherry export markets, such as China. In addition to its proven efficacy against common fungi in cherries, it complies with the Maximum Residue Limits in most destinations, which facilitates its use and compliance with regulations.
As for the relevance of being part of Smartcherry, this represents a great opportunity for Janssen PMP, since according to the company, “Smartcherry is a professional and active organization that has a strong presence in the cherry industry in Chile and other important countries in this sector. This association allows Janssen PMP to effectively reach cherry producers, packers and exporters, transmitting its messages and solutions to the market in an efficient manner.”
