How to Maintain the Proper Temperature for Oranges Shipping

Oranges are the most cultivated fruit in the world. In 2010 alone, an estimated 68.3 million metric tons of oranges were grown. They are extremely popular when eaten fresh, are common ingredients in juices, desserts, preserves, and other dishes, and are even valued for their rind. Orange trade is being prosperous worldwide. Global sales for oranges exports from all countries totaled US$5.4 billion in 2021. Overall, the value of exported oranges increased by an average of 6.3% for all suppliers since 2017 when shipments of oranges were worth $5 billion. Ensuring that oranges arrive at their destination in perfect health is crucial. Oranges require great care due to their vulnerability to temperature changes and surface damage.

Oranges should be stored at about 38°F to 48°F. Warmer temperatures will result in a more rapid loss of quality while prolonged exposure to temperatures below 38°F may result in freeze damage. The optimum temperature within that range of 38°F to 48°F will vary slightly depending on the initial condition of the oranges as well as their particular cultivar. Oranges thrive at a relative humidity of about 90%~ 95%. Lower relative humidity may result in moisture loss while higher relative humidity may elevate the risk of certain fungal attacks. Oranges should be stored in well-ventilated cartons to allow for good airflow and thus also thorough, uniform cooling. It is important to avoid over-filling containers as this could not only interfere with airflow but also result in physical damage to the fruit. Under ideal cooling and storage conditions, oranges have a shelf life of up to 2-3 months.
