 However, at post harvest, the quality of the fruit is affected by storage factors.Low humidity levels, storage time, and incidences of mechanical damage can severely affect the quality of the fruit which would negatively affect the demand of such.In general, the fruit has a short shelf life in ambient conditions but implementing methods that can extend such is a productional advantage.Certain treatments like irradiation and the use of hot-forced air can help in fruit preservation although the former has seen more success.
