This reduces bruising and premature ripening. b) All bananas will be thoroughly dried before packing so as to insure no moisture content in vacuum sealed bags above 10%. This reduces scarring of fruit. c) All boxes will be marked or barcoded to enable reference to the grower, packer, quality inspector, and transport at all times. d) There will be no less than 4-5 leaves per banana plant at the time of cutting to insure that fruit will not prematurely ripen in ocean transport. e) Inclusion of ethylene filters in containers to prevent premature ripening. f) Shipping line containers are loaded directly at our packing houses so there is no "second" packing at the container yards in Davao which can seriously damage the fruit. g) We request buyers to provide their own quality inspectors to work in conjunction with ours so as to leave no room for error in cutting selection, processing and packing procedures.
