Pre-Cooling

• The ideal pre-cooling temperatures must be 5-7° C at least
within 10 hours after harvesting.
• Chilling damage of fruit is possible if stored below 5° C.

Packing
All the graded fruits are wrapped in paper and packed in corrugated fiberboard (CFB) boxes.
Brown coloured 3 fold CFB boxes are used for local market while, white coloured 5 fold CFB boxes are used for distant markets.
Pomegranates are very susceptible to water loss resulting in shriveling of the skins. Storing fruit in plastic liners and waxing can reduce water loss,

Cool chain is essential during the transport of export quality commodity all the way from the farm to the customer.
This helps in maintaining the temperature inside the box.
Transportation
Road transport by trucks/lorries is the most convenient mode of transport due to easy approach from orchards to the market.
