French term
station de tri
"Une étude récente a révélé les composantes du prix d’un kilo de pêche au prix plancher de 2,69 euros le kilo. La 1ére composante est le coût de production : 1,43 euro le kilo (dont 0,70 euro représente le coût du verger (mis à part les traitements, l’exploitant doit toujours se tenir informé des nouvelles variétés) et 0,73 euro le coût de la **** station de tri **** car la cueillette se fait encore à la main en raison de la fragilité de la pêche avant de rejoindre la calibreuse et les palettes de bois avec le plastique des alvéoles). Certains de ces coûts ne sont même plus répercutés sur le prix de vente."
Thanks for your suggestions!

Non-PRO (1): writeaway
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

It could also be "fruit grading line", or "fruit grading process". The choice is yours. You said that it is not the building, but then you suggested "station"?? From the extract, I don't see why this doesn't mean the whole thing: building, plant and workers, so I'd favour "facility", which seems to cover the lot.
