Apeel Technology will be gone in few years because Genetics Shelf Life of Fruits and Vegatables will take over. I have found after 10 years of research that Tomatoes can be stored Unrefrigerated on Kitchen counter for more thanba year and continuing. There will be no need of any oil be it from apple, mushrooms or tea etc to be applied on fruits and vegetables. Also, grocery stores are in business of making money from fruits and vegetables; they have great program to stop food waste. In fact only 2% of food waste happens in grocery stores. According to United States Department of Agriculture 2019 data, of the $166 Billions lost every year from food waste, $144.0 Billions lost due to consumers at home. That’s where the pain point is and hence My solution is directed to resolve this huge pain point.
