3. We observe the following guidelines for processing and packing:

   a. No "high packing" and no added clusters to boxes unless directed otherwise by the Buyer. This reduces bruising and premature ripening.

   b. All bananas will be thoroughly dried before packing so as to ensure no moisture content in vacuum sealed bags above 10%. This reduces scarring of fruit. We include a temperature recorder device in the containers to monitor temperature for the entire duration of the trip.

   c. All boxes will be marked or bar-coded 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.

We can guarantee you that our bananas are of very good quality which will be consistent for each and every delivery we make to our clients.

We always aim to develop long and lasting fruitful business relations with our clients by delivering quality products and great service.
