Fruit handling systems in developing countries.

ABSTRACT

Most developing countries are in the tropics where fruit handling systems require measures to ameliorate or eliminate the adverse effects of high temperatures and relative humidities. In most cases, appropriate systems have been developed for export fruits, rather than for fruits intended for domestic consumption. Environmental factors and the lack of appropriate support systems make the local marketing of fruits in developing countries a high-risk enterprise. Experience in research and development work on fruit handling systems in the Philippines for export and for the domestic market is described with particular reference to bananas.
