PHILADELPHIA, July 6, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- AgroFresh Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: AGFS)
("AgroFresh" or the "Company"), a global agtech innovator that
provides produce freshness solutions, and digital technologies that

today announced the expansion of its SmartFresh™ Inbox in
California with the California

sachets are easy to apply and handle, offering effective protection
against internal and external threats to freshness, resulting in
increased shelf life and reduced levels of food loss and waste.
