In the quest for agricultural efficiency, the use of Ethephon, a chemical ripening agent, presents a paradox. On one side, it promises the allure of consistent, visually appealing produce ready for the market. On the other, it strips away the essence of what makes fruits genuinely nutritious and flavorful.
This blog dives deep into the heart of modern agriculture’s compromise: the sacrifice of nutritional value and natural maturation for commercial convenience.
