Quality Assurance
Nothing Leaves
Until It Earns Its Crate.
Inside our processing facility, where every Kinnow is washed, polished, inspected and graded before it is packed.
Why It Matters
Good Fruit Is Grown. Great Fruit Is Also Sorted.
A single rotten or damaged Kinnow in a carton can spoil the fruit around it and lose a buyer for good. That is why every fruit we send out passes through our own facility — washed, polished, inspected by hand and machine, and sized before it is packed.
Washed Clean of Field Dust
Fruit arriving from the orchard is fed onto the line and washed to lift the dust, sap and residue that come with hand-picking.
Dried, Then Polished to a Shine
Brush rollers dry and polish each fruit, bringing up the deep orange rind colour Kinnow is known for and helping it hold condition in transit.
Rotten & Damaged Fruit Pulled Out
Our inspectors work the belt by eye and hand — anything soft, split, sun-scarred, blemished or showing early rot is taken off and never reaches a carton.
Separated by Size, Not by Guess
Graded rollers separate the fruit into consistent size counts, so every carton a buyer opens looks the same as the last one.
Step 05 · Packing
Hand-Packed, Carton by Carton
Packers place the fruit by hand rather than tipping it in. It is slower, and it is the reason our cartons arrive without the bruising that comes from bulk filling.
- ✓A final visual check as each fruit is placed
- ✓Export cartons or local crates, to the buyer's specification
- ✓Consistent counts and weights in every box
- ✓Moved straight to dispatch, not left standing
Our Reject Line
What Never Makes It Into a Carton
Rot & Soft Spots
Any fruit showing decay or a soft patch is removed — it would spread through the carton.
Splits & Punctures
Broken rind lets moisture out and mould in, so split or punctured fruit is pulled.
Heavy Blemish & Scarring
Wind-scar and sun damage do not affect taste, but they do not belong in a premium carton.
Undersize & Immature
Fruit below grade size or short of full colour is separated out rather than mixed in.
