Dragon Fruits (kamalam)
To export high-quality dragon fruits, select premium varieties like Hylocereus undatus (white flesh), Hylocereus costaricensis (red flesh), or Hylocereus megalanthus (yellow flesh), prized for their taste and appearance. Each fruit should meet weight standards ranging from 200 to 600 grams, tailored to market preferences. Conduct inspections at certified facilities to ensure freshness and compliance with export regulations. Maintain storage temperatures between 10 to 15°C to prevent overripening during transit and storage. Pack dragon fruits in sturdy, ventilated cartons with cushioning materials to prevent bruising, offering packaging options tailored to market needs.
