Assisting Specialty Crop Exports: Low Oxygen Storage and Packaging Systems for U.S. Tree Nuts with Phytosanitary Traceability
Kendra Arrington Grantor
This cooperative agreement funds work to develop technically and economically viable low-oxygen storage and packaging systems for U.S. tree nuts that can help meet phytosanitary requirements while preserving product quality. The focus is on creating verifiable, preferably traceable approaches for maintaining and documenting low-oxygen conditions during storage and packaging for exporters and shippers. The expected outcome is improved export readiness for specialty crops through better pest control verification and reduced reliance on fumigation or freezing.
This is a U.S.-focused agricultural research/cooperative agreement on specialty crop export systems, with no clear humanitarian, health, or disaster-response role for IFRC or National Societies. Eligibility is only stated as 'Others' and the source gives insufficient evidence of a realistic Movement participation pathway.
