Preparing for a record 5m trays

Alistair Young, director of Southern Produce (now combined with Primor Produce to export under the Avoco brand), said it had not been under much pressure by mid-June to send early avocados to local market. The only clearance they had then was for someFar North fruit."We like to start up the season steady as she goes - there is only a reasonable demand for early season fruit when the returns can be high. If you give the market too much fruit then the price drops and growers lose interest. We expect to handle our first local market fruit around the end of June."
