Exotic Fruit Imports
In the world of exotic fruit imports, freshness and quality are non-negotiable. For wholesale and specialized importers, maintaining strict compliance with certifications like GlobalG.A.P., SMETA, and MRL regulations is essential—not just for regulatory approval, but to meet customer expectations and protect brand integrity. How can importers ensure that every box of golden berries, passion fruit, granadilla, or mangosteen arrives in top condition?
Expertise is the Foundation of Successful Exotic Fruit Imports
Importing exotic fruits requires more than transportation—it’s a fine-tuned process that starts at the farm and ends at the final point of sale. From harvest timing to packaging, every stage must be optimized. Fruits like passion fruit and granadilla must be harvested at ideal ripeness and firmness. Golden berries must be uniform in size and color, while mangosteens require extra care to avoid bruising.
Choosing the right sourcing partner makes all the difference. Alnattural works directly with GlobalG.A.P.-certified producers and follows strict protocols to guarantee consistent product quality and compliance.
Postharvest Handling: Precision at Every Step
The journey of premium exotic fruits begins with meticulous postharvest practices. Alnattural uses biodegradable, micro-perforated liners and Vinypell or mesh covers to protect the fruits during transport. Packaging is optimized in 2–2.5 kg boxes to reduce damage and maintain freshness.
This attention to detail extends shelf life and minimizes losses during transit—critical factors for importers looking to reduce claims and improve customer satisfaction.
Cold Chain Management: Protecting Freshness Across Borders
Cold chain integrity is vital for preserving the quality of exotic fruits. For sea freight shipments, golden berries and passion fruits are kept at 8–12°C, extending shelf life up to 27 days postharvest. For smaller airfreight consignments (typically 150 boxes per pallet), the priority is rapid movement through customs while maintaining peak freshness.
Alnattural integrates real-time temperature and humidity monitoring across the entire supply chain—from Colombia to Europe—to prevent disruptions that could compromise product quality.
