Weight sorting solution for Brazilian figs
Brazilian figs are renowned for their exceptional quality, characterized by a remarkably sweet flavor profile, delicate, velvety skin, and a soft, jam-like interior rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. These sun-ripened fruits typically exhibit a size range of approximately 3 to 8 centimeters in diameter, with common commercial sorting often focusing on diameter ranges like 30-40mm, 40-50mm, and 50+mm. Their high perishability and sensitivity to bruising demand careful post-harvest handling to preserve their premium texture and taste for discerning global markets.

Falling Freight Rates Propel China's Onion Exports in Global Markets

Peeled yellow and red onions are in high demand in Southeast Asia, while the European market prefers value-added products such as peeled onions, onion slices and onion dices, which can be used directly without further processing. These products are highly competitive due to China's relatively low labor costs. In addition to onions, ginger and garlic are also key products to supplement its product portfolio in the global agricultural market.
Machines improve the commercial value of avocados
