Abstract
A package made of plastic material for storage, transportation and commercialization of ‘formosa’ papaya, which comprises an envelope formed of a pellicle of thermoplastic film, with a plurality of orifices spaced through its surface, and sealed by a mechanized system known as flow pack, the package capable of reducing the physical damages imposed to the fruit's outer skin, lingering the ripening, and reducing the action of pathogenic agents disseminated by handling the fruit during transportation, as well as in the selling spots, adding nutritional safety to the product and reducing the losses imposed to rural producers.
