Resumo: Excess of weight in banana boxes is a major cause of post-harvest damages. The aim of the present study was to estimate the average weight of unripe banana from the Cavendish Subgroup [Musa spp. (AAA)] in wooden boxes in packing houses, considering a maximum sampling error of 5%. The banana boxes were weighed just prior to delivery, without the previous knowledge of people involved in the packing, in 28 packing houses located in the main banana producing area on the northern coast of the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The mean average net weight of the boxes in the packing houses was23.01kg, which is 9.6% above the reference weight (21kg). This implies that there is an excess of weight in the boxes, which may decrease the fruit quality, as well as the data of banana producton and of the farmer’s income. It can be concluded that there is a need for beter regulatory business laws regarding the banana market and commitment of those involved in post--harvestng practces of the productve chains.

A carga que resulta em excesso de peso em caixas de bananas é uma das principais causas de danos pós-colheita. Este trabalho teve como objetivo estmar o peso líquido médio de bananas verdes do subgrupo Cavendish [Musa spp. (AAA)] em caixas de madeira, em casas de embalagem de produtores, considerando um erro máximo de amostragem de 5%. As caixas de bananas, prontas para expedição, foram pesadas sem conhecimento prévio dos embaladores, em 28 casas de embalagemno litoral norte catarinense. O valor estimado do peso líquido médio dessas caixas nas casas de embalagem foi de 23,01kg, valor 9,6% acima do peso de referência comercial, que é 21kg. Evidenciou-se o excesso de peso nas caixas, o que compromete a qualidade dos frutos e os dados estatisticos e econômicos de produção. Concluiu-se que há necessidade de aprimoramentos na regulamentação da comercialização de bananas verdes e no grau de corresponsabilidade dos integrantes da cadeia produtiva da banana quanto às prátcas em pós-colheita.
