Peach Transportability

Prunus persica (L.) Batsch

An integral indicator of a peach variety's suitability for transport, determined by skin firmness and flesh density. A critical parameter when selecting commercial varieties, directly affecting the preservation of marketability.

In the reference 75 varieties crop Peach, where this is mentioned in the description.

Peach transportability is assessed based on variety testing methodologies that take into account a combination of the fruit's physical properties: skin strength, flesh consistency, and resistance to mechanical damage such as bruising and tearing. The assessment is expert-based and is grounded in the fruit's ability to maintain integrity throughout the logistics chain.

Varieties are classified according to their suitability for transport. Forms with firm flesh and tough skin, which often include nectarines, are considered highly transportable. Low transportability, typical of varieties with juicy, tender flesh and thin skin, such as 'Redhaven', 'Collins', and 'Sochnyi', is the primary reason for their exclusion from the modern commercial assortment.
