The emergence of fruit grading equipment is conducive to improving the overall quality of the fruit. If the fruit after picking is not graded, the overall quality of the fruit will deteriorate, and it will be difficult to attract consumers, not to mention the international market competitiveness. Strictly tested and graded fruits are conducive to promoting the quality and quality of the overall batch of fruits, promoting consumption and increasing market competitiveness. It is beneficial to increase the added value of fruits and improve the economic benefits of fruits. The graded fruits can effectively reduce the loss rate, and at the same time increase the added value of fruits, improve the competitiveness of my country's fruit exports, and promote the increase of farmers' income and the development of rural economy.
Fruit grading is complex and generally consists of multiple indicators, such as fruit size, freshness, stem length, peel color, and pests and diseases are all important components. The role of fruit grading is mainly reflected in four aspects:
The first is to measure the economic value of the fruit itself, and differentiate and sell fruits of different quality to achieve high quality and high price. The sorted fruits are well-proportioned in appearance and similar in size. They are better packaged and more attractive. Naturally, they can be sold for a high price.
Second, it is conducive to standardized operation of fruit production, circulation and other links, reducing losses and waste;
The third is to ensure the interests of both supply and demand;
The fourth is to enhance the international competitiveness of domestic fruits and increase the import threshold of foreign fruits.
Why do fruits need to be graded?
Fruits have the inherent defect of fresh agricultural products - they are extremely perishable and deteriorated. Due to various reasons such as technology, weather, soil, fertilizers, diseases, etc. during the planting period, the fruits in the same garden may be very different. Some fruits are beautiful in shape and bright in color, while others are different and carry germs.
On the one hand, sorting and grading can classify fruits according to different qualities, and sell them in the form of high quality and high price, and low quality and low price, and frame the quality and price of fruits in a range from the source. In this way, at the terminal of the fruit sales market, consumers can also be gradually guided to pay for the quality and promote a virtuous circle of the industry.
