POMEGRANATES

Pomegranates are round fruits with a thick, reddish skin and hundreds of juicy arils inside, valued for their sweet‑tart flavor and deep color. They are naturally rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, fiber, and polyphenol antioxidants, which makes them popular for fresh consumption as well as juicing and processing. Despite their tough appearance, pomegranates are sensitive to dehydration and temperature changes, so proper cooling, ventilation, and a stable cold chain are essential for export quality.

DETAILS

  • Weight per fruit: commonly 250–400 g, depending on variety and size grade

  • Packaging: ventilated corrugated export cartons (typically 4–10 kg net), packed by count and palletized for refrigerated containers

  • Recommended storage & transport temperature: generally 4–7 °C, with relative humidity around 80–95% to limit water loss

  • Freezing / chilling injury risk: quality losses increase at sustained temperatures close to 0 °C or below, especially over long storage
