Frequently Asked Questions by International Buyers
What post-harvest phytosanitary treatments (VHT, Irradiation, Hot Water) are applied for fruit exports?
To comply with destination plant health authorities (such as US USDA-APHIS, Australia DAFF, EU, or GCC ministries), export fruit undergoes certified quarantine treatments at government-approved facilities: Hot Water Treatment (HWT) for anthracnose and fruit fly control in mangoes; Vapor Heat Treatment (VHT) for delicate fruits; or certified gamma/electron-beam Irradiation for markets requiring non-chemical insect disinfestation.
How do you maintain unbroken cold-chain integrity during ocean container and airfreight transit?
Harvested fruit is immediately transported to temperature-controlled packhouses, washed, sorted, pre-cooled to remove field heat, and loaded into pre-chilled 40ft High Cube Controlled Atmosphere (CA) Reefer containers or air-cargo thermal containers. Dual electronic data-loggers record temperature, relative humidity, and oxygen/CO2 balances every 15 minutes throughout the entire voyage.
What fruit sizing, ripeness stages, and carton packaging configurations are standard for wholesale buyers?
Fruit is graded to strict export specifications: Mangoes (Class 1, 300g–450g per piece, packed 5kg/10kg cartons with individual foam sleeves); Bac Giang Lychees (28–32 pieces/kg, packed 2kg/5kg ventilated plastic crates or cartons); and Ri6 Durian (2.0kg–3.5kg per fruit, 3–6 fruits per 18kg master carton). Ripeness stages (mature green 75-80% for long seafreight vs semi-ripe 85-90% for airfreight) are calibrated to destination voyage duration.
What are the seasonal availability calendars and minimum order quantities (MOQ) for fresh fruit consignments?
Because tropical harvests follow regional seasonal peaks—e.g., Vietnam Lychee (May to July), Vietnamese Mangoes (November to May with year-round Mekong crop management), Indian Alphonso (March to June)—we provide seasonal procurement schedules to international buyers. Minimum order quantity for express air cargo is 500kg to 1,000kg, and for seafreight is 1 x 40ft Reefer container.
