Harvesting, Quality Standards & Packaging

Dragon fruits are harvested at optimal ripeness to balance sweetness and shelf life. Farmers carefully handpick the fruit to avoid bruising and maintain peak freshness. Following harvest, fruits are sorted and graded by size, color, and firmness in compliance with international standards.

Packaging typically involves protective trays or cushioned cartons designed to preserve freshness and reduce damage during transit. For export, fruits are often stored under controlled temperatures and humidity to extend shelf life and ensure arrival in premium condition.
