Malins, A. (Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute, Roseau (Dominica))
Correct determination of maturity of fruit at harvest and careful handling and packaging to avoid damage are vital in meeting the market requirements for pineapple. Mango field production must be tailored to the selected market. Fruit must be selectively harvested at the correct maturity stage for the handling and marketing chain to follow. Attention must be paid to temperature management of the fruit. Damage should be avoided after harvest. Proper postharvest handling can help to ensure a reliable supply of quality fruit to the market, and improve business profitability
