Discussion Point 1

Impact of storage requirement on packaging

Objectives:

Evaluate the performance (protective, storage, loading, palletizing,

transportation, sales, promotional, and service functions) of the different types

of shipping containers (boxes) used by exporters, importers, wholesalers and

retailers for shipping and handling mangos

Design and develop a new package and compare with existing mango

packaging methods.

Evaluate the feasibility and economic impact of developing a common and

standardized package system for fresh mangos (common foot-print and

height) and compatible with the requirements of the Grocery Manufacturers

Association and Produce Marketing Association palletized requirements for

fresh produce.

Insure new packaging system meets challenges for new retail requirements for

sustainability and environmental concerns

y Packaging : Wooden boxes are commonlyused for packagingand transportationof mango fruits. Underdynamic transport conditions nails come out due tovibrationand puncture the fruits which result inbruising,decayand low price of fruits. Further, too much ventilationaffects the qualityof fruits due to

shrinkage, loss inweight, color, etc.

y Toovercome these problems, the Institute has designedanddeveloped CFB Boxes of 5 kgand 10 kgcapacity for packingand shippingof mango fruits successfullyas analternative to traditional nailedwooden boxes.

y The use of CFB boxes for packaging for the domestic market is also the needof the hourdue to scarcityof the woodand environmental concerns of the country. For export purposes, CFB boxes are already inextensive use.

y

Paper scraps,newspapers, etc.,are commonlyusedas cushioning material for the packagingof fruitswhich prevent them from getting bruisedand spoiledduring storage and transportation. Polythene(LDPE) lining has also been found beneficial as it maintains humiditywhich results in lesser shrinkageduring storage. Wrappingof fruits individually (Unipack) with newspaperor tissue paperand packing inhoney comb structure helps ingettingoptimum ripeningwith reduced spoilage.

y

Normally lidof the wooden boxes is nailedwith anareaof 5 to 7 cm high in the middle. This putspressure on the fruits during transport andresults intoreduced quality. Therefore, the farmers should bevery careful while packing the fruits.

y Transportation in India : The truckhas beenadoptedas the most convenient mode of transport due toits easyapproach from the orchards to the market. However, these trucks were not found suitable fortransporting this live material as they exert lot of pressure on the fruits anddonot bosses temperaturecontrol devices.

y Therefore, it is imperative todesignanddevelop suitable transport system. Reefer containers(Refrigeratedvans) may be founduseful for longdistance transport and export purposes as theywouldhelp inreducing the post harvest losses

Discussion point 6 Exporting Mango to USA

ExportingMangoes to USA strictly follows the guidelines set by the Agricultural & ProcessedFood Products Export Development Authority (APEDA).

Only Good-lookingand healthy mangoes with sufficient stalk length are harvestedat the

mangogrooves.

All the mangoes are carefully inspected before packing. All damaged,diseased,over-ripenorrotten fruit is physically segregatedandnot approved for export.

The mangoes selected for export are thenwashedand cleanedwith a milddetergent andgiven post-harvest hot water fungicidal dippingat 52 C for 3-4 minutes.

Each individual fruit of mango is enclosed ina clean,white, soft, expandable andnetted type

polystyrene sleeve to prevent bruising before packing inan insect-proof box.

The labeled boxes are carried to the Irradiation facility. Each consignment of mangoes isinspectedjointly by Animal & Plant Health InspectionService, US Department of Agriculture

(USDA-APHIS) and National Plant Protection Organization (NPPO) of India.

Discussion point 6 Exporting Mango to USA

Few selected cartons and fruits are thoroughly inspected for quarantine pests such asfruit flies. Fewnumbers of fruits are cut and examined for internal feeders such as

weevils.

The mangoes are then treated in Indiawith irradiationas a conditionof entry intoUSA.

Currentlyonlyone plant KRUSHAK (Krushi Utpadan Sanrakshan Kendra meaningAgro Produce Preservation Center) is beingused for irradiation processingof mangofor export to the U.S.

As per the specifications for export to USA, the Alphonso mango shouldweighbetween 250 and 300 grams. However,APEDA does not approve the gross weight of

box to exceed 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs). This puts a limit on the size of the mangoes in the box
