New Market Application Explored During Sales Visit in Costa Rica

COSTA RICA, June 24, 2026 — WIPEX’s South American sales representative recently completed a client visit in Costa Rica, gaining valuable new insights into the practical application scenarios of our core products and unlocking broader market potential in the local fruit industry.

During in-depth communication and on-site observation with local fruit merchants, our team confirmed that our products, especially flat sheet paper, have been widely adopted in Costa Rica’s fruit market, forming a mature and practical application solution for banana storage and transportation.

Bananas naturally seep residual juice during ripening, storage and transit. The sticky juice often adheres to placement platforms, transport containers and cargo surfaces, resulting in sticky, dirty and unhygienic working and storage environments, while also increasing the cleaning burden for fruit vendors. To solve this industry pain point, local merchants have applied WIPEX flat sheet products innovatively in daily operations.

By simply laying our flat sheet paper underneath banana batches, the product can efficiently absorb excess fruit juice and form a clean isolation layer between bananas and contact surfaces. This effectively eliminates stickiness, prevents residue contamination, and maintains a tidy, dry and hygienic environment for fruit placement, handling and transportation. The lightweight, high-absorption and disposable features of our flat sheets greatly optimize the daily operation and cleaning process for local fruit businesses.

This on-site market exploration in Costa Rica refreshes WIPEX's understanding of product downstream applications. It also verifies the excellent adaptability and practical value of WIPEX products in the global fresh fruit supply chain. Moving forward, our South American sales team will further promote this mature application scenario, expand market coverage in the Latin American fruit industry, and deliver more targeted and cost-effective solutions for local merchants.
