Chinese chemical pump for ripening jackfruit

Only a few drops of chemicals pump directly into the fruit, after a day, the jackfruit becomes sweet. Then the owners pick up the zone to sell to the kilns.

The granary in Dak Lak province is considered the capital to supply this fruit to many localities throughout the country. At the beginning of June 2014, when a trader ran a jackfruit through the National Road 14, in Hoa Phu commune, Buon Ma Thuot City, Dak Lak, the reporter asked to buy.'How about all the jackfruit? ', we asked when we saw the basket. The salesman only looks at the guest with an attitude of scrutiny.

When he knew that the guests intended to buy goods in large quantities, he was mild: 'We buy tons of jackfruit every day, but we wait for the fruit to be cooked. Just cut back on taking medicine for health. ' After that, he led the "guest" to his barn, and introduced the whole process of making the jackfruit.

Around him, there are dozens of other places specializing in splitting jackfruit to work around the clock. For a food processing facility, food hygiene and safety must be at the top, but these processing points are not regulated at all.

Landscape of unsanitary processing at the jackfruit

Workers do not have labor protection, hands and feet are itchy and sore. Even, to keep my hands free of plastic when peeling jackfruit, workers use kerosene to apply."Rub kerosene on hand so that jackfruit does not cling to, not wash your hands very tired , " said Ms. Mai (his wife Tinh).

The jackfruit processing is carried out right on the dirt and sticky soil. Jackfruit, citrus, peel, fiber, seeds . are sprawled across the ground. More heroic than flies fly in the processing zone, there is a dead hard clinging to the jackfruit that has been contained in nylon bags.

Mr. Tinh said: " At the drying factory, do not know if they have washed or not, and we leave it intact, how much to remove it. We will lose color and lightness."

Pumping technology into non-jackfruit

With the usual way, the old jackfruit when picked down will be piled into stalks, sun dried or incubated for natural ripening. But in the granary, people pump chemicals directly into the left, squeezed super fast."Doing so is quick, new jackfruit is enough for the drying factory. Wait for the nine-year-old jackfruit to come?" Mr. Tinh said.

After gathering the young jackfruit to the workshop, he let them "eat" chemicals. Thinking we were big, he did not hesitate: "We have to use medicine for ripe jackfruit to supply enough."

Each day, his bowl provides hundreds of kilograms of jackfruit for a kiln in Buon Ma Thuot City. How to inject drugs is quite simple, but requires the right dose, if exceeding the jackfruit will rot.

Chinese chemicals make the young jackfruit super fast

Beside Mr. Tinh is Mr. Hoang's processing facility. When we arrived, he went to buy jackfruit not yet returned. In the workshop, there are 3 female workers who are chopping jackfruit to get the zone.

We offered to apprentice, Mrs. Hoa (Mr. Hoang's wife) asked in a suspicious voice: "Where do you come here and ask for vocational training?". We were told by a friend Mr. Hoang that she agreed.

Mrs. Hoa came to the corner of the workshop to take a black bag inside with 2 packages of medicine and said: "If you want to make fast ripe jackfruit, you must have a secret. Using this medicine is not costly, you want to have as many ripe jackfruit as you can. on the left, just need to pump 2 - 5cc, big or small customized drugs, want to ripen quickly, then pump more.

After that, Mr. Hoang had just arrived, went into the workshop to take 2 packages of medicine, outside the whole Chinese word, put in a plastic bottle about 1 liter of water and stirred up.

The drug that this facility uses is transparent, with a pungent odor. When the medicine was stirred up with water, he came to the jackfruit with more than 100 fruits to buy it, and took a small skewer in the middle of the left. Then he dripped about 2 drops of chemicals into new positions.

According to the instructions, this medicine is used for embedding. But if you want to get ripe quickly, you must pump it directly to the left. Previously, Mr. Hoang often used needles to inject drugs into the stalks, but this method was lost, the meeting was still long.

After giving all the jackfruit sucking chemicals, Mr. Hoang affirmed: "The whole pile of jackfruit whether young or old, tomorrow is all nine".
