Description

Okanagan Specialty Fruits Incorporated ("OSF") is a dynamic Canadian agricultural biotechnology company that is developing new commercial tree fruit varieties that offer exciting benefits to consumers as well as clear advantages to producers, processors and retailers. The company's first commercial product, non browning apple varieties, is ideally suited to the fresh-cut produce market, and provides benefits to all along the value chain. Technological innovations in tree fruit development using excellence in genomics, genetics and breeding are new tools that can be harnessed to revitalize the commercial tree fruit industry; new genetic traits will decrease production costs and increase fruit quality and consumer appeal. Advancements in tree fruit genomics, gene discovery, germplasm selection and molecular biology now allow genetic engineering tools to be applied to the precision breeding of these crops, resulting in exciting new varieties. OSF is very proud of our ability to integrate scientific discovery with product development, rigorous regulatory testing and commercialization. The firm is deeply rooted in the tree fruit industry, and has a philosophy of transparency and partnership. Prior to the commercial release of our non browning apple, this product will have to prove it adds value to both consumers and industry, and exceeds all food safety standards.
