Pest control for agricultural raw materials

Fumigation is an essential process for ensuring the quality of agricultural raw materials.

Products such as:

• dried carrots, onions, peppers or garlic

• herbs such as parsley, dill, basil or oregano

• spices such as pepper, caraway or coriander

• seeds such as millet, flaxseed or sunflower seeds

• grains such as wheat, barley, oats or corn

are susceptible to pest infestation during storage and transport.

Professional fumigation reliably eliminates these risks, and the goods remain suitable for industrial further processing.

Fumigation for dried vegetables and herbs

Dried vegetables and herbs are among the most sensitive product groups in international trade.

These include, among others:

• dried carrots

• dried onions

• garlic

• bell peppers (red and green)

• herbs such as parsley, mint, dill or marjoram

Fumigation is carried out under controlled conditions and ensures:

• complete pest elimination

• preservation of texture, color and quality

• safe further processing in the food industry

Fumigation for seeds and grains

Seeds and grains place high demands on storage and transport.

Typical products:

• millet (yellow, red, white)

• flaxseed

• sunflower seeds

• sorghum

• wheat, barley, oats and corn

Fumigation ensures:

• protection against storage and transport pests

• compliance with international import regulations

• stable quality over long transport distances

Fumigation for nuts, spices and specialty products

High-value raw materials also require reliable pest control.

These include:

• almonds, hazelnuts, walnut kernels and peanuts

• pine nuts and cedar nuts

• spices such as pepper, cardamom, cumin or cloves

Especially in the premium and export segment, fumigation is a decisive factor for quality assurance and market access.
