Production & Post-Harvest Handling Process

Durian is highly sensitive to harvest timing, handling conditions, and transportation, which directly affect its ripeness, taste, and shelf life. At TeaExportVietnam.com, we apply a farm-to-export protocol that includes:

1. Optimal Harvest Timing (When & How):

  • Durians are handpicked at 85-90% maturity, ensuring ideal ripeness upon arrival
  • Harvest is conducted early morning to minimize heat stress

2. Gentle Collection & Sorting (What & Where):

  • Fruits are immediately cushioned in foam crates and transported to our GAP-certified facilities
  • Each fruit is sorted by variety, size, and appearance, removing overripe or damaged specimens

3. Cleaning & De-sapping (How):

  • Fruits are gently washed and dried to remove sap and dirt
  • Natural anti-fungal treatments (herbal or organic where possible) are applied

4. Ripeness Calibration (Why Important):

  • For fresh durian export, we apply forced ripening under controlled ethylene gas environments
  • For frozen durian, fruits are harvested at peak ripeness and rapidly frozen using IQF or blast freezing

5. Packaging & Storage (How Long):

  • Fresh durians are packed in ventilated, reinforced cartons with barcode tracking
  • Frozen pulp and whole fruits are vacuum-sealed and stored at -18°C
  • All packaging is customizable with private label options for international buyers

We strictly follow both Vietnamese and international standards:

  • VietGAP & GlobalG.A.P. certified farms
