About ECOPLANTS
A Korean agricultural technology company built for the global post-harvest market.
Our Mission
Reducing post-harvest loss across the agricultural supply chain.
ECOPLANTS is a Korean post-harvest freshness management company. We develop and supply professional solutions that help storage operators, exporters, packers, and distributors preserve fruit quality across international agricultural supply chains.
Our flagship technology, FRESHLONG™, is an on-site 1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene) gas generation system for sealed-room post-harvest treatment in cold storage, CA storage, packing, and export supply chains. FRESHLONG™ is a professional-use system: treatment is performed only by trained ECOPLANTS technicians or certified partners, and is not intended for normal farmer self-application. The spent solution is transferred through an approved chemical disposal agent.
FRESHLONG™ is applicable to climacteric fruits including apple, kiwifruit, avocado, mango, banana, pear, and persimmon. We approach every project with scientific rigor — careful application conditions, clear technical documentation, and local regulatory support — to help our partners deliver consistent post-harvest outcomes.
