Information profile @ a Glance
- Banana, the second largest fruit crop in the world, is recognized to
be the fourth important food crop in terms of gross value. As the
largest producer of
banana in the world, India contributes nearly 23% to the total global
production.
- The Integrated Pack House should be able to control the quality of
the Banana in the entire supply chain from the farm to the Pack House
and then from the Pack House to the markets both domestic and
international
- Unlike most other fruits and vegetables, no U.S. Grade Standards
have been established for bananas. Designated grades of U.S. No. 1 and
U.S. No. 2 are the result of the major banana companies establishing
their own grading standards
- Bananas, especially, are known to emit ethylene, a ripening agent,
during cold room storage. Ethylene levels of greater than 1 part per
million (ppm) in the cold room environment accelerate the banana
ripening process. If ethylene accumulation can be
controlled, the freshness and shelf-life of the fruit can be extended,
especially during slower than normal turnover.
