Fruit Development, Ripening & HarvestDoes a surface blemish automatically make a mango unmarketable?
Marketability depends on the defect's nature, severity, buyer specification, and the intended channel. A superficial mark and active decay should not receive the same assessment. Examine representative blemished fruit and follow their condition through ripening before defining a grade. Keep separate records for cosmetic downgrades and losses from internal damage so production decisions address the right problem.
