Post-Harvest Process: From Farm to Global Market

1. Harvesting at Peak Maturity

We only harvest mature dragon fruit at the optimal ripening stage — typically 28–32 days after flowering — ensuring maximum sweetness, firmness, and shelf stability.

2. Field Sorting & On-Farm Pre-Cooling

Immediately after harvest, fruits are field-sorted by size, shape, and defect level. Selected fruits are pre-cooled within 4 hours to 8–10°C to slow down respiration and microbial activity.

3. Cleaning, Disinfection & Air Drying

Fruits are gently washed and disinfected with food-grade sanitizers to remove latex, dirt, and field residues, followed by air drying in sanitized environments to prevent mold formation.

4. Grading & Packaging

Dragon fruit is graded by size and appearance (Grade A, B, C) and then packed in ventilated cartons or MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) for sea/air transport, with barcoding and traceability labels.

5. Cold Chain Logistics

From farm to port, our cold chain logistics ensure temperatures are maintained between 5–10°C — preserving texture and flavor for up to 30–35 days during export.
