Quality / Duration of storage

To ensure high quality, it is important for the skin to be
undamaged. Even the slightest injury would result in rapid
spoilage with this very sensitive fruit. Care must also be taken to
ensure that the fruit is not overripe, as this would have a negative
impact on salability.
According to [1], the maximum duration of storage and transport
is 14 - 25 days. Attempts have been made to extend storage life
by storage in a CO2 atmosphere, with wax coatings and hot water
treatment. Given its poor keeping properties, importation of this
juicy fruit to temperate latitudes is a very difficult task. Transport
is generally by air freight. Particular attention must be paid to
postharvest diseases if transport is to be by ship.
Where controlled atmosphere transport is used, transport and
storage duration may be extended. The following parameters
apply in such a case [16]:

Cargo handling
Mangoes are highly pressure- and impact-sensitive and appropriate care
must therefore be taken during cargo handling.
The cold chain must at all costs be maintained, since the cargo will
otherwise spoil rapidly.
In damp weather (rain, snow), the cargo must be protected from
moisture, as there is otherwise a risk of premature spoilage.

Stowage factor

2.27 - 2.55 m3/t (fruit crates) [1]

2.26 - 2.83 m3/t [14]

Cargo securing
Because of its considerable impact- and
pressure-sensitivity, packages of this cargo
must be secured in such a way that they are
prevented from damaging each other.
Spaces between packages or pallets must
be filled, to prevent slippage or tipping. By
selecting the correct packaging size or cargo
unit (area module or area module multiple),
holds can be tightly loaded (without
spaces).
