Packaging & Logistics

Sapodillas become very delicate as they breathe and ripen. We apply specialized cushion layering to prevent soft spots or skin bruising during shipping:

  • Individual Handling: Fruits are thoroughly cleaned of surface dust/scurf, washed with ozone water, dried, and individually fitted with expandable foam netting sleeves.
  • Export Cartons: Heavy-duty, rigid 5-layer corrugated cardboard boxes with precise air-circulation vents. Standard net weight: 3.0 kg, 4.0 kg, or 5.0 kg per carton (single-layer or double-layer packing with paper pulp trays).
  • Container Loading Capacity: Approximately 12 - 14 Metric Tons per 20ft/40ft Reefer Container (RF) on pallets, configured with constant ventilation to evacuate ethylene gas gas.

Crop Seasonality

While fresh sapodillas can be supplied in limited volumes almost year-round, our orchards harvest the highest commercial export volumes during two major peak seasons:
