About VegoFresh

We keep fresh produce fresh, all the way across the ocean.

VegoFresh is the export brand built on twenty years of preservation science from Synarise (Suzhou) Biotech. Our goal is simple: less produce lost in transit, more sold at a fair price.

Leafy greens aboard a naval vessel
PLA Daily · 15 May 2010“Leafy greens at every meal”
How it started

It started on a navy ship

Escort ships in the Gulf of Aden could keep leafy greens for only about 15 days. Synarise built a complete preservation process for the fleet, from harvest and packing to storage on board. Spinach and bok choy stayed fresh for more than 40 days, and A-choy for about 60.

If greens could cross oceans on a warship, they could cross them in a reefer. That idea became VegoFresh.

What we believe

Six things we won’t compromise on

01
Science firstEvery crop gets its own gas formula, temperature and humidity, drawn from data on 200+ products.
02
Honest evidenceWe label every number as lab data, a trial or a company record. No claim without conditions.
03
Growers earn moreLonger shelf life opens distant markets, so a bigger harvest means bigger income.
04
Less wasteChina loses more than 25% of produce in distribution, against under 5% in developed markets. We aim for under 5%.
05
Unbroken cold chain0–5 °C and an intact modified atmosphere from farm base to buyer.
06
Long-term partnersWe start with a route assessment and a trial, then build programmes that last.
