                    [Title] => Mango for far markets can now be stored for weeks
                    [Summary] => Successful.


This is the encouraging result of a stationary commercial trial on the storage of mangoes intended for shipment to distant markets.


The research adopted the controlled atmosphere (CA) technology, which entails the storage of fresh mangoes under certain conditions to delay their ripening and prolong their shelf life, enabling them to reach far markets.


With CA, the storage life of a fruit can be extended to four weeks, making possible sea shipment to distant markets such as the Middle East, North America and Europe.

Already, Cebu’s furniture exporters, are starting to feel the pinch with close to  $6 million worth of  products, including processed seaweeds, were barred  from entering Australia because of  the new import restrictions imposed by the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS).
