OUR MISSION

REDUCE LOSS OF FRESH PRODUCE IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN BY 50%

Together, we can reduce produce waste in the SUPPLY CHAIN by
0.5
million tons

OUR SOLUTION:
EDIBLE COATINGS FOR FRESH PRODUCE

Our breakthrough multifunctional 100% NATURAL coatings for fresh produce slow down ripening, reduce loss of moisture and inhibit growth of microorganisms. They double or triple the shelf life of most fruits and vegetables and they control rot and mold, reducing the need for chemical fungicides.

Akorn Technology was founded in 2019 by veterans from high technology, consumer goods and agriculture. We are based in Berkeley, CA, a short distance from California’s Central Valley which provides more than half of the fruits, vegetables and nuts grown in the US. 

We are an US AgriTech startup that develops 100% natural edible coatings. We reduce food waste throughout the produce supply chain and promote better nutrition for all by enabling the producers and retailers to deliver harvest-fresh, tastier and longer-lasting fruits and vegetables.
