7 2/12/14 Are rots a problem? USA Three strikes and you are out (late 9 s) Rots Measles = rots in green fruit Australia 5% of consumers do not repeat purchase because of poor quality due to rots (199 s) * Large backlog of NZ fruit in the market place leading to extended storage and fruit age problems (1997) Three issues rots fruit age measles * Ledger, S., Campbell, T., Banks, A., Atkinson,I, Kernot, I. and Fullelove, G Internal quality of avocados in retail shops. Queensland Department of Primary Industries Internal Report (Avoman). 23pp. What did we do to fix it? Research Avocado Rot Survey Three year survey of orchards to identify cultural and grower practices that affected rots Followed it up with replicated trials Determined: the storage limits of fruit the criteria for infection the relationship between lenticel damage and measles Logistics Reviewed the research that had already been conducted in NZ Tightened up timeframes in the logistics pathway Cooperation amongst exporters to rationalise flow of avocados to the market 7
