Preserving Peanut Quality Under Hermetic Storage
Peanuts travel long distances and often remain in storage for extended periods. During that time, quality loss is a persistent concern. Rising free fatty acids, flavour deterioration and mould risks
GROWER
Protecting value from harvest
Freshly harvested commodities are at their most vulnerable. Moisture, oxygen and insects can quickly undo months of hard work, even before products leave the farm. VacQPack helps growers protect quality, value and integrity from harvest onward
As a grower, you invest time, expertise and resources into producing a high-quality crop. Yet once the harvest is complete, control often slips away. Conventional storage and packaging methods expose products to infestation, mold and oxidation, especially when storage or sale is delayed. Chemical fumigation may seem like a solution, but it risks residues, regulatory issues and the loss of organic status. VacQPack offers growers a natural, proven way to stay in control after harvest, preserving quality and flexibility without compromising food safety or sustainabilit
CHALLENGES for GROWERs
After harvest
The period immediately after harvest is one of the most critical stages in the supply chain. Freshly harvested commodities such as grains, seeds, nuts and beans are highly sensitive to changes in moisture and oxygen levels. Even short-term exposure can trigger mold growth, oxidation or insect infestation, leading to rapid quality degradation and direct financial loss.
Many growers rely on traditional storage methods such as jute bags, paper sacks or bulk storage with desiccants. These solutions offer little real protection and often allow moisture migration and re-infestation to occur. When products are stored while waiting for transport, processing or a favorable market price, risks increase with every passing week.
For organic growers, the challenge is even greater. Chemical fumigation may eliminate insects temporarily, but it threatens organic certification and contradicts the principles of sustainable farming. At the same time, growers have limited control once the crop is harvested, making it difficult to safeguard quality, maintain compliance and protect the true value of their product.

VACQPACK FOR GROWERS
Natural control
VacQPack enables growers to take control of their harvest by protecting commodities under controlled, low-oxygen conditions immediately after harvest. Using bulk-sized Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), the VQPro system replaces oxygen with natural inert gases, eliminating insects in all life stages while slowing mold development and oxidation, without chemicals.
Combined with high-barrier VacQBags or VacQLiners, VacQPack stabilizes product quality during storage, even over longer periods. This reduces post-harvest losses, preserves organic integrity and food safety, and gives growers the flexibility to store confidently and sell when market conditions are right.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about our services and solution
What is Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)?
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a proven preservation method that reduces oxygen inside the packaging and replaces it with natural gases such as CO₂ or nitrogen. This controlled atmosphere slows oxidation, prevents mold growth, and eliminates insects in all life stages without chemicals or residues.
How does VacQPack’s solution differ from traditional fumigation?
Traditional fumigation often relies on chemical treatments that leave residues and offer only temporary protection. VacQPack’s MAP solution is fully organic, non-toxic and curative, maintaining protection throughout storage and transport and preventing re-infestation.
Which products are suitable for VacQPack solutions?
VacQPack solutions are ideal for moisture- and oxygen-sensitive dry commodities such as grains, seeds, rice, cacao, coffee, nuts, spices, herbs, and animal feed. Including organic and residue-sensitive products.
Can MAP be applied both preventively and curatively?
>Yes. VacQPack’s system can be used preventively to protect freshly harvested or processed goods, and curatively to eliminate existing insect infestations in stored commodities.
Does VacQPack only sell bags, or a complete system?
VacQPack delivers a fully integrated solution: high-barrier liners (inside or outside), sealing equipment, gas exchange technology, the VQPro MAP system, and expert guidance. This ensures reliable, measurable MAP conditions and consistent results.
Is VacQPack suitable for small and large operations?
Yes. The system is scalable from smaller storage volumes to industrial bulk operations. Making it suitable for both regional producers and global supply chains.
What is the return on investment (ROI)?
Customers typically see ROI through reduced losses, fewer claims, lower fumigation costs, improved shelf life and higher product value. VacQPack helps make costs predictable instead of reactive.
