I had an insightful interview about the success of the 4th All Africa Postharvest Congress at the African Union Commission. The Congress aimed to tackle urgent challenges in postharvest loss and boost intra-African trade. It's time to turn research into impact.

Our study shows that a 2% Opuntia ficus indica mucilage coating significantly extends the shelf life of bananas. Imagine fresher fruit, less food waste, and a healthier planet! #Sustainability #Bananas #innovation https://t.co/sK8IlM5RIb

Of the 3 sectors identified as crucial elements of the bio­economy, the agricultural industry has the highest economic impact. We completely agree!

That makes research in the Agrifood area crucial to South Africa’s development.

Together, we will, make a difference. @go2uj

[Olaniyi Fawole @fawwyb]

I had an incredible day at the Innovation Hub in Pretoria, with the esteemed MEC, Ms. Hlophe, & the HoD of GDARDE, Ms. Gasela.
We conducted a walkabout at Dembe Holdings & discussed the critical role @AndPostharvest can play in improving product quality & safety @go2uj @NRF_News

[Olaniyi Fawole @fawwyb]

I had a fantastic time at Hortgro Science Research Showcase and Postharvest Symposium 2023, where I shared insights on applying edible coatings to combat shrivel in plums and nectarines.

As researchers, we are not just investigating P values but striving to deliver Real Values.
