Frozen Fruits: A Cost-Effective Solution for Increased Revenue

Thailand is renowned for its abundance of diverse fruits. However, the hot and humid climate, which tends to become increasingly warmer, can shorten the shelf life of many fruits. While abundant harvests are possible, unsold produce can spoil, leading to financial losses for farmers and potential fruit shortages during dry seasons. To mitigate these challenges, fruit processing into frozen or other forms is employed to reduce costs and boost revenue.

Fresh fruits’ shelf life is measured in days, weeks, or months. However, processing into frozen fruits extends their preservation for years, minimizing losses from spoilage. Farmers can harvest without worrying about price drops, as processed fruits can be stored and sold when market demand arises.

Smart Fruits & Foods Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of processed, frozen, and freeze-dried fruits at factory prices, aims to help farmers reduce costs and increase income simultaneously. This is achieved through various processing methods, including freezing, freeze-drying, and dehydrating. Their flagship products, frozen and freeze-dried durian, are in high demand.

How Frozen Fruits Reduce Costs

Freezing fruits reduces costs in several ways.
1. Reduced Storage Costs: Frozen fruits require less storage space than fresh fruits, lowering warehouse rental expenses, etc.
2. Reduced Transportation Costs: Frozen products are more accessible to transport in larger quantities than fresh fruits, saving time and money.
3. Reduced Spoilage Costs: Frozen fruits have a longer shelf life, minimizing the risk of spoilage.

Beyond Cost Reduction: How Frozen Fruits Increase Revenue

Frozen fruits can be exported to America, Europe, or Africa without concerns about transportation time. For instance, exports to Africa typically take months, increasing the risk of spoilage. Freezing extends shelf life, enabling year-round sales and expanding market reach for farmers and businesses. Consumers also benefit from the convenience and time savings, allowing them to purchase in bulk and enjoy multiple servings.

Examples of Benefits for Farmers, Businesses, and Consumers

1. Farmers in the Eastern region growing durian can process unsold fruits into frozen durian, preventing spoilage and financial losses. This allows them to sell to various groups with different needs, such as ice cream makers, smoothie shops, and dessert producers.

2. Businesses purchasing fresh fruits from farmers for processing and freezing can sell to supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants, and ice cream factories. This reduces storage and transportation costs, minimizes spoilage risk, adds value to the product, and enables year-round sales.

3. Consumers can purchase frozen strawberries from supermarkets for smoothies, yogurt, or desserts. This offers convenience, time savings, year-round availability, and lower prices than fresh strawberries.

Important Considerations

Fruit processing requires equipment, machinery, and technology that meet GHP, HACCP, HALAL, BRC, USFDA, and GACC standards. These certifications ensure that frozen fruits adhere to international standards, are hygienic, and safe for consumption.
