CITRUS HARVEST
AID
Harvesting and Pre-pack Handling
The logical culmination of citrus production efforts is the harvesting and
subsequent movement of the crop into marketing channels enroute to the ultimate
consumer.
Authors: Alfred B. Wagner, Julian W. Sauls
Packingline Operations
Packinglines vary greatly in layout and in the order of various fruit treatments.
Most packinghouses handle two grades of fruit, both grapefruit and oranges,
but a substantial proportion of incoming fruit is graded out or sized out as
eliminations to be sent to processing.
