-
Mango and guava fruits are normally packed in wooden boxes weighing 2.0-2.5 kg having 50-55 nails and high ventilation
-
14-20 per cent losses occur in mango during transportation due to impact, compression, vibration, shock and friction
-
Higher ventilation affects the maintenance of ideal environment required inside the box during transportation
-
In this background, telescopic type Corrugated Fibre Board (CFB) boxes of 2.0 and 4.0 kg capacities having 0.5 per cent ventilation were designed and developed
-
CFB boxes are safe, attractive, sturdy and suitable for effective handling and shipping of fresh produce
-
Fruits will have less bruises and effective post-harvest treatments before packaging; minimize the losses during transport
-
Suitable for export of fruits
