The food irradiation process that the plant will use is used for cold pasteurization, which guarantees food safety.

The company applies this system to give added value to the agri-food industry and compete in international markets.

These facilities will be able to provide greater value to the products of the agroindustry of the Bajío and the entire country. Products such as guavas, figs, mango, strawberries and berries, among many others, can be part of this process.

E-Beam Agroindustrial reported that to achieve the development of the plant, producers from the region interested in participating as investors were sought.
