The use of bamboo baskets is not common nowadays. These containers are highly unsuitable because fruits may be susceptible to mechanical injury especially from the sharp edges and surfaces of the bamboo basket. Furthermore stacking is a problem as there will be an exertion of pressure on the fruits at the bottom of the container. This may lead to injury and blemishes. However, if bamboo baskets have to be used, then proper precautions such as limiting the size of the basket, the use of cushioning materials, avoiding of high stacking during handling, storage and distribution are necessary.
