 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.Rambutan is adapted to warm tropical climates, around 22–30 °C, and is sensitive to temperatures below 10 °C.
