To determine the quality of agricultural products, you can assess factors such as appearance, texture, smell, taste, and nutritional content.
You should ensure proper transportation conditions for fruits and vegetables to maintain their quality and freshness. You may need to use refrigerated containers or cooling techniques for heat-sensitive products. Additionally, you should provide appropriate storage conditions for the products upon reaching the destination.
Fruits and vegetables can be exported and imported, but there are regulations to consider. Restrictions vary by country and include health specifications, permits, customs classifications, and agricultural restrictions.
Methods for storing fruits and vegetables and transporting them to maintain their quality:
Packaging and wrapping:
Use suitable packaging: Wrap fruits and vegetables in perforated plastic bags or special ventilated bags to maintain airflow and reduce excess moisture.
Use cooling chambers: Cooling chambers equipped with ventilation systems can be used to maintain the quality of fruits and vegetables.
Some fruits and vegetables may need to be separated from each other to avoid harmful chemical reactions. Make sure to store varieties that produce ethylene gas separately, as this gas can accelerate ripening and deteriorate the quality of other varieties.
Use appropriate packaging to protect fruits and vegetables during transportation and storage. Strong plastic containers or ventilated boxes can be used to allow for airflow.
Avoid exposing the varieties to shocks or excessive pressure during transportation. Place them properly in the packaging and secure them well to prevent damage.
