Agriculture Addresses Fruit Weight Claims
The Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation responded to videos circulating on social media claiming that the weight of Sobbat bananas increases by up to 80% after harvest. The ministry confirmed that these claims are unscientific and not supported by facts. It explained that the harvesting of Sobbat bananas occurs when they reach maturity according to clear standards such as color change and diameter measurement. The purpose of determining the harvest stage is to improve quality, prevent fruit cracking, and reduce flavor loss. The ministry also clarified that ripening takes place in ripening chambers using ethylene gas under specific conditions, lasting from three to seven days. It emphasized that variations in fruit weight are normal and depend on the variety and agricultural conditions, with weights ranging between 10 and 60 kilograms for Sobbat bananas and 1.5 to 5 kilograms for the bunches. The ministry stressed the importance of relying on official sources and verifying agricultural information to avoid rumors that could harm the market and consumers.
