Post Harvest Management

< Back to Package of Practice

Managing the fruits after it has been harvested is yet another challenging aspect.

Why is it important for proper packaging of Bael fruits?

Good packaging not only makes the products look impressive to trade/consumers but also safeguards the fruits from damage in multiple handling during transit/transportation hence, proper packaging of fruits is important to fetch good price and deliver healthy fruits.

How to do the packaging?

  • Good packaging plays an important role in today’s agriculture.
  • Bael fruit has different sizes so we need to grade and pack.
  • Different packaging materials are used like gunny bags, plastic crates, etc. but they are neither attractive nor deliver fruits in healthy condition, chances of damage is always there.
  • Individual fruits can be wrapped with newspaper and paddy straws are found good during transportation.
  • While packaging in CB Boxes, we need to create a proper cushioning at the bottom.
  • It helps to protect the fruits from manual/mechanical impacts of handling in transportation.
