Transporting fresh green chilies to international destinations combines both expertise and methodology. Given their perishable nature, it’s essential to preserve their vibrant appearance, crunchy texture, and distinct flavor during transportation. At Freshly Picked, we implement careful processes to guarantee that our G4 green chilies arrive at consumers in optimal condition. Here’s our approach:
1. Ideal Harvesting Techniques
Freshness starts right at the origin. We work with skilled farmers who recognize the significance of harvesting chilies at their peak ripeness. By gathering them during the cooler hours, we can reduce heat-related stress, thus maintaining their quality.
2. Initial Cooling and Cleaning
Following harvest, the chilies are promptly pre-cooled to eliminate field heat. This process helps to limit spoilage and slows down ripening. They are then cleaned to remove any dirt and debris, ensuring hygienic handling throughout the supply chain.
3. Sorting and Grading
Chilies are meticulously sorted and graded to align with international quality standards. Only the best chilies—uniform, blemish-free, and compliant with market specifications—are chosen for export.
4. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)
To prolong shelf life, we employ advanced Modified Atmosphere Packaging technology. This method adjusts the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the packaging, slowing respiration and reducing spoilage.
5. Cold Chain Transportation
Maintaining an uninterrupted cold chain is vital for freshness. After packaging, the chilies are transported in temperature-controlled vehicles, kept between 8°C and 12°C to prevent wilting and preserve their vibrant color.
6. High-Quality Packaging Materials
Our export-grade packaging is engineered to minimize moisture loss while providing proper ventilation, keeping the chilies crisp and preventing mold or decay.
7. Rigorous Quality Control and Certifications
We implement strict quality control protocols at every stage. Each batch is rigorously tested for compliance with international food safety standards, such as Global GAP and HACCP.
8. Efficient Supply Chain Management
Timeliness is crucial for transporting perishable goods. Our efficient logistics ensure swift shipping of chilies, reducing transit times. We collaborate with reliable shipping partners to ensure timely delivery to global markets.
9. Post-Harvest Treatment
To further preserve freshness, we occasionally use natural, food-safe coatings that lower water loss and enhance shelf life, all while adhering to international residue regulations.
10. Real-Time Monitoring
We utilize IoT-enabled sensors to track temperature and humidity throughout transportation. Any detected anomalies prompt immediate corrective measures, securing the quality of the chilies.
