New Specifications Now Available !

A new set of Australian Avocado Industry Produce Specifications has been published in the Best Practice Resource (BPR) Packhouse section. These documents provide baseline grading standards to support consistency across key requirements for fruit quality, maturity, packaging, labelling and defect tolerances.

Four specifications are available covering Premium, Class 1, Class 2 and Processing fruit for Hass and Shepard varieties (with all varieties included for processing fruit). While individual customers or markets may have additional requirements, these specifications provide a practical industry reference point for growers, packers and supply chain partners.
