For more than 40 years, the France-based UV RER is equipping farms with their ultraviolet technology. “ We have become a specialist in killing bacteria and fungus with UV light without using a chemical liquid. In Africa, and particularly Kenya, many flower farms are already using our fluids and surface treatment devices that are proudly made in France.”

Already very present on the African continent, particularly in Kenya, UV RER is now looking across the Atlantic to offer its UV treatment solutions on the South American market. At the IFTF in Vijfhuizen, the Netherlands, that took place earlier this month, Ecuadorian and Colombian growers already showed their interest in equipping their production sites with these UV treatment products. “They were very interested in recycling and disinfecting fertilizer and conservation liquids to save money, and botrytis effective solution in cold rooms and flower buds through UV-C solution by UV RER,” says Julio Asencio, Export Manager.
