Harvesting, Packaging and Storage
Harvesting
Pomegranates should be harvested in two stages. The first harvest should start with the particularly large and colorful pomegranates, in order to lighten the tree’s load during the remaining period so that the smaller pomegranates have time to grow. The second harvest should be completed before frost and early autumn rains. Dropping the fruits to the ground, separating diseased fruits and protecting them from impact prevents fruit rot and thus increases quality.
Packaging
In packaging, if possible, no more than two rows of fruit should be placed in boxes, as this type of packaging is very important in terms of sales and marketing of the product. When selecting fruits, it is important to sort them by size and color, especially for export. Hand sorting and sorting is more convenient. When selecting fruits, care should be taken to ensure that the packaging is such that the fruits do not touch each other
Storage
Due to the special structure of the fruit skin, pomegranates can be stored for 4 to 6 months under various conditions. The safest and least harmful method of storage is a modern refrigerator, despite the additional costs. In these warehouses, where the temperature and relative humidity can be adjusted, the fruits can be stored at a temperature of 1 to 3 degrees with a relative humidity of 80 to 90 percent
