Rigorous Post-Harvest Sorting,
Zero Destination Rejection
Arrival quality is our ultimate metric. We enforce multi-stage sorting at local packing facilities, combining automated caliber selection with non-destructive sweetness testing to ensure box-to-box consistency.
Optical Caliber Sizing
Every fruit is weighed and optically sorted. We categorize our yield by weight and diameter to match strict supermarket count schedules (8/10/12 counts per box).
Brix & Core Quality Checks
We verify internal parameters before packing. Near-Infrared (NIR) sampling ensures sugar indices and acidity ratios align with export parameters (target 17°+ Brix).
Phytosanitary Clearance
Complying with FDA, EFSA, and local customs regulations, our packing plants undergo regular residue testing to secure plant health certificates for seamless port entry.
Visual Calibration & Caliber Sorting
Optical weight sensors sort sizes while manual checkers double-inspect skin integrity, filtering out fruits with structural blemishes.
Brix Index & Core Inspection
Quarantine representatives verify sugar levels and internal health index, ensuring only healthy fruit clusters are placed into cartons.
The Golden Cold Chain:
Zero-Fluctuation Transit
Freshness is a race against respiration. We secure active pre-cooling within 4 hours of harvest, combined with Controlled Atmosphere (CA) ocean reefer bookings to protect shelf-life across intercontinental shipping routes.
Active Temp-Logger Program
Controlled Atmosphere Gas Mix
*CA reefers actively regulate humidity and gas balances, extending fruit freshness by up to 45 days.
