Vegetables department clarifies banana chemical use
The Fruits and Vegetables Division of the Cairo Chamber of Commerce confirmed that the claims about using chemicals to enlarge or alter the appearance of bananas before sale are unfounded. They clarified that bananas undergo a natural ripening process that takes between 24 and 48 hours, sometimes up to three days, inside specialized refrigeration chambers, without any prohibited substances being involved. They also stated that no illegal practices or the use of chemicals to increase the weight or size of bananas have been observed, and any violations are subject to oversight by the relevant authorities. Additionally, they noted that the prices of some vegetables have decreased during the season, and there has been an increase in the supply of mangoes, which is expected to stabilize as their season begins, thanks to the availability of multiple varieties from both provinces.
