Ethylene damage is one of the most important factors contributing to shrinkage at retail stores. During shipping and retail conditions, plants are exposed to high levels of ethylene which can cause flower bud abortion, petal shatter, and leaf yellowing, leaving retail store with reduced quality plants and displays that are lacking color to attract consumers.
Ethylene damage is one of the biggest problems contributing to shrinkage at retail stores. In 2018 Chrysal and Syngenta Flowers joined forces to bring a solution to the market, Chrysal Alesco®. Today, Chrysal and Syngenta Flowers renew their partnership to continue offering this cost-effective post-harvest treatment to growers.
As of February 13th current CEO Peter Vriends will step down as CEO. Peter served for 5 years as CEO of Chrysal and led the acquisition of the company by OAT and was the driving force behind the growth of the company.
