Weight sorting solution for Brazilian figs
Brazilian figs are renowned for their exceptional quality, characterized by a remarkably sweet flavor profile, delicate, velvety skin, and a soft, jam-like interior rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Their high perishability and sensitivity to bruising demand careful post-harvest handling to preserve their premium texture and taste for discerning global markets.
