Grading charts as means to preserving quality standards

摘要

Northern Queensland's fruit growers in the Atherton Tableland are setting a precedent for the industry with the release of grading guide posters for mangoes, lychees, limes, and avocados to assist in maintaining quality standards. In particular, the citrus industry has welcomed the launch of the Lime Grading Guide which is presented as a coloured A4 poster and available for 11 dollar to all industry growers and free to tableland growers. The posters have been developed by the Tableland Economic Development Corporation (TEDC) through the Tableland Marketing Project and have been embraced by all interstate markets as well as the export sector.
