Reasons why some limes shipments are in the bad quality ( limes transfer to yellow, rotten...) in jebel all port.

The more Factory/Exporter focuses on competing on price without concerning quality, the higher the rate of bad Limes.
Bulk lemons are purchased at the same price from farmers. However, when the factory rejects 5% the poor quality limes, their cost is low => resulting in their low offering price. If 10% is rejected, their cost is higher=> resulting higher price, and similarly for 15%, 25%, and 30%.
=> Price comparisons must take into account the rate of poor-quality limes. This can only be seen when you check the actual goods at the factory, or when the seller records a video of large-scale lemon processing or when you open the container at destination place.

The lemon prices sometime fluctuate strong, some Exporters or The Middle Parties who collect limes directly from the farmers hold them when prices are low and store them in cold storage.
Advantages: Importers can buy at a low price.
Disadvantages: The storage time is longer before shipping. Additionally, long storage time at ports or extended transit times due to shipping delays => increase quality risks. At this point, the lower price received by the importer may carry the potential for significant losses (as in the situation depicted above, where the lemons turned yellow and were severely damaged upon arrival).

𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸

To meet delivery deadlines, lemons are packed and stored in cold storage immediately after being picked from farmers, without allowing the lemons sufficient time at room temperature after harvest => Rapid temperature changes => making lemons easier to be over ripen and rotten.
