Foreword
an
St
an
Development of the East African Standards has been necessitated by the need for harmonizing
requirements governing quality of products and services in East Africa. It is envisaged that through
harmonized standardization, trade barriers which are encountered when goods and services are
exchanged within the Community will be removed.
Af
ri c
In order to meet the above objectives, the EAC Partner States have enacted an East African
Standardization, Quality Assurance, Metrology and Test Act, 2006 (EAC SQMT Act, 2006) to make
provisions for ensuring standardization, quality assurance, metrology and testing of products
produced or originating in a third country and traded in the Community in order to facilitate industrial
development and trade as well as helping to protect the health and safety of society and the
environment in the Community.
ed
as
Ea
st
East African Standards are formulated in accordance with the procedures established by the East
African Standards Committee. The East African Standards Committee is established under the
provisions of Article 4 of the EAC SQMT Act, 2006. The Committee is composed of representatives of
the National Standards Bodies in Partner States, together with the representatives from the private
sectors and consumer organizations. Draft East African Standards are circulated to stakeholders
through the National Standards Bodies in the Partner States. The comments received are discussed
and incorporated before finalization of standards, in accordance with the procedures of the
Community.
be
cit
Article 15(1) of the EAC SQMT Act, 2006 provides that “Within six months of the declaration of an
East African Standard, the Partner States shall adopt, without deviation from the approved text of the
standard, the East African Standard as a national standard and withdraw any existing national
standard with similar scope and purpose”.
No
t to
East African Standards are subject to review, to keep pace with technological advances. Users of the
East African Standards are therefore expected to ensure that they always have the latest versions of
the standards they are implementing.

Assistance derived from these sources and others inadvertently not mentioned is hereby

This standard has been developed to take into account:
t to
 the needs of the market for the product;
No
 the need to facilitate fair domestic, regional and international trade and prevent technical barriers
to trade by establishing a common trading language for buyers and sellers.
—
 the structure of the CODEX, UNECE, USA, ISO and other internationally significant standards;
ts
on
ly
 the needs of the producers in gaining knowledge of market standards, conformity assessment,
commercial cultivars and crop production process;
 the need to transport the product in a manner that ensures keeping of quality until it reaches the
consumer;
mm
en
 the need for the plant protection authority to certify, through a simplified form, that the product is
fit for crossborder and international trade without carrying plant disease vectors;
 the need to promote good agricultural practices that will enhance wider market access,
involvement of small-scale traders and hence making fruit and vegetable production a viable
means of wealth creation; and
Dr
a
ft f
or
co
 the need to keep unsatisfactory produce from the market by allowing the removal of
unsatisfactory produce from the markets and to discourage unfair trade practices e.g. trying to sell
immature produce at the beginning of the season when high profits can be made. Immature
produce leads to dissatisfaction of customers and influences their choices negatively, which
disadvantages those traders who have waited until the produce is mature.

free of any foreign smell and/or taste. This refers particularly to strawberries which have been
stored on badly kept premises or have travelled in a badly maintained vehicle, especially
strawberries which have acquired a strong smell from other produce stored on the same

The strawberries must have been carefully picked. Harvesting operations need to take into account
the fragility of the fruit and the fact that the slightest knock or damage will inevitably lead to
deterioration. Special care should be taken to avoid applying too much pressure with the fingers or
crushing the fruit by packing it into containers. These precautions relate to picking but also apply to
other stages in the preparatory process, i.e. transport to the packing area, sorting, grading and
packing.
4.2.2 They must be sufficiently developed and display satisfactory ripeness. The development and
the condition must be such as to enable them:
to withstand transport and handling, and
(b)
to arrive in satisfactory condition at the place of destination.

Development: The development of strawberries can be affected by frost, poor
pollenization, or any other factor. Strawberries showing excessive defects in shape are
not allowed. Figures 19, 20

In particular, the design and size of package units for direct sale to the consumer should ensure that
the fruit is not bruised.

The materials used inside the package must be new, clean and of a quality such as to avoid causing
any external or internal damage to the produce. The use of materials, particularly of paper or stamps
bearing trade specifications, is allowed provided the printing or labelling has been done with non-toxic
ink or glue.

This provision is designed to ensure suitable protection of the produce by means of materials inside
the package which are new and clean and also to prevent foreign bodies such as leaves, sand or soil

Guide to cold storage
Scope and field of application
Af
ri c
This International Standard describes the optimum conditions for the cold storage of varieties
(cultivars) of fresh strawberries (genus Fragaria) intended for marketing in the fresh condition or for
processing.
The limits of application are given in A.4.
Conditions of harvesting and putting into store
B.2.1
Harvesting
Ea
st
B.2
cit
ed
as
Strawberries should be harvested in the coolest part of the day, the best time for picking being early
morning in dry weather. The proper stage of maturity for picking is determined by the area and
intensity of the red colour. Most varieties should be harvested when three-quarters of the surface
possesses the colour specific to the variety. The fruit should be picked by pinching off the stem of
each berry between the thumb and forefinger. A Portion of stem, about 1 cm long, should be left on
each berry.
be
Strawberries intended for the market should be picked with their calyxes and stems intact.
Strawberries intended for processing may be harvested without calyxes.
No more than one fruit should be gathered in one hand.
No
t to
During picking, the fruit should be sorted immediately into containers by quality groups, without any
transfer to other containers. They should be placed directly in baskets, trays, punnets or other
containers to avoid further handling and should be packed in a manner that avoids damage
(degradation) of the fruits during handling and storage.
—
Containers for strawberries intended for consumption in the fresh condition should be robust and
should not be completely filled. They should protect the fruits from dust.
ts
on
ly
The airspace between the upper layer of fruits and the bottom of the superimposed container should
be at least 2 cm to allow free circulation of air.
To avoid damaging the fruits, they should be handled with care during picking and storage.
B.2.2
mm
en
If, during picking, the atmospheric conditions are wet and cold, the fruit is more susceptible to grey
mould.
Qualitative characteristics for storage
Various treatments
ft f
or
B.2.3
co
Strawberries intended for cold storage should be whole, sound, fresh, clean (but unwashed) and free
from rot, insect attack, external humidity and foreign odour or taste.
Because of their perishability, the strawberries should be precooled for several hours after picking to
remove natural heat. Precooling by means of a jet of cold air is preferred.
Dr
a
B.2.4
Putting into store
Strawberries should be put into the cold store immediately after harvesting and precooling.

an
St
an
The containers should be handled with care. They may be stacked, provided this is done in such a
way as to ensure good circulation of air across the fruit, and so as to avoid crushing the containers
underneath.
Units of containers should be placed on pallets or on a slatted floor.
Optimum storage conditions
B.3.1
Temperature
st
B.3
Af
ri c
To ensure the strength of the containers and to make the most economic use of the store, the
containers should be stacked on post pallets which should then be stacked to the height permitted by
the store.
Ea
The Optimum temperature is from 0 to 2.5 °C. The te mperature may rise to 6 °C, but under conditions
such that variations are minimized. The permitted Variation is ± 1 °C.
as
At 0 °C, the heat produced by respiration correspon ds to 700 to 960 kcal/t/h; at 5 °C, this rises to 9 00
to 1 900 kcal/t/h.

Intense air circulation is desirable during the period of cooling to accelerate and homogenize the
cooling of the bulk.

Strawberries may be stored at the recommended optimum storage temperature for 3 to 8 days,
according to the quality of the fruit, its destination, the rate of cooling and the storage conditions.
The maximum periods at 0 °C may be:

for strawberries with calyxes and stems:
1)
intended for the fresh fruit market: 3 to 6 days,
2)
intended for processing: 8 days;
for strawberries with neither calyxes nor stems: 3 days.
mm
en
a)
co
At the higher temperature, the period of keeping will be accordingly shorter; for example, at 6 °C, th e
period would be for one day only. After these periods of storage, the fruits begin to lose their
freshness, their bright colour, and show some shrivelling; there are also losses due to decay and
deterioration in flavour.
ft f
or
Throughout the period of storage, the strawberries should be examined every day to assess their
degree of maturity and to detect the development of any diseases (see B.5).
B.3.5
Operations at the end of storage
Dr
a
When removed from the cold store, strawberries intended for the market should be gradually warmed
(to avoid condensation); once the strawberries have been made commercially available, cooling

removal from the store.
This annex provides guidance of a very general nature only. Because of the variability of the fruit
according to horticultural factors, local circumstances may make it necessary to specify different
conditions of harvesting or other physical conditions in the store.
Af
ri c
The recommendations in this annex do not apply unreservedly, therefore, and it will remain for each
specialist to be the judge of any modifications to be made.

Disinfection and cryptogamic disorders
as
B.5
st
Strawberries belong to the class of perishable fruits, which are susceptible to deterioration. They
breathe intensely and ripen rapidly. Thus, strawberries are not stored for a long period of time and
their storage life is very short. However, they sometimes have to be stored for a few days and, in this
case, cold storage is recommended.
To prevent cryptogamic disorders, the following measures are recommended:
ed
 preliminary disinfection of the cold store and of the packages;

The two most important diseases that develop on strawberries during the period of storage originate
from the micro-organisms Botrytis cinerea (grey mould) and Rhizopus sp. The former is a particular
Cause of loss of strawberries in the field, but it is also serious during storage. Rhizopus causes very
soft rot of strawberries, which develops mostly during transit, storage and marketing, when the
temperatures are above 10 °C.

Scientific synonym: F. chiloensis x F. virginiana, F. vesca race ananassa. Garden strawberry is
derived from a natural crossing in Europe around year 1750. It thrives in mild climates, without
extremes of temperature and humidity. Windbreaks, mulching and irrigation is recommended to limit
stress. It require a period of winter chilling to overcome the dormancy period, the chilling temperatures
and period differ among cultivars. Flowering and fruiting demand a fairly dry season. In waterlogged
conditions soil fungi may kill the plant. In the tropics cultivation is successful above 1000 m. Average
fruit yields range from 10-60 t/ha.

this International MRL Database is updated frequently, the information in it may not be completely up-to-date or error free.
Additionally, commodity nomenclature and residue definitions vary between countries, and country policies regarding deferral to
international standards are not always transparent. This database is intended to be an initial reference source only, and users
must verify any information obtained from it with knowledgeable parties in the market of interest prior to the sale or shipment of
any products. The developers of this database are not liable for any damages, in whole or in part, caused by or arising in any
way from user's use of the database.
