Proper handling and storage techniques are the key factors in maintaining the quality of the fruit during the journey. Quality maintenance begins with identification of proper harvesting index and harvesting technique followed by handling procedures such as washing with chlorinated water and treatments with hot water and fungicide to control diseases.
