Delicate and perishable small fruits like strawberries and raspberries require extra care in handling, shipping and processing. Berry growers must put their product on the market in good condition, which requires careful handling during picking, storing and subsequent shipping to the market so that the fruits retain freshness and quality. On the other hand, the fruit preservation industries are interested in the quality of their finished product, which is largely dependent upon the quality of the raw berries.
