Avocado Packing
Rates from 1 March 2016
We
have more Great News this year! We
are spending $800,000 on vision grading
and carton handling additions to the
packing shed this season. This is
part of over a $1.5 million upgrade to
expand our services and capacity!
This lowers our labour input and allows
us to keep the same prices for packing
as we had for the past 2
years. We ask you to
compare our prices to the competition
for packing, freight and marketing and
you should save on all three components!

MARKETING
You
may choose who to market with through
our packing shed, but we encourage you
to market through us to get you the best
price for your fruit. If you
select our branded carton, you can be
assured you are getting the same price
return we are. We will be placing
your fruit in all chainstores, wholesale
markets, providores, etc with the best
deals available across a large spectrum
of buyers. Your grower payments
will be paid through us weekly and your
packing charges deducted from those
payments.
Your Marketing fee is set at a maximum
of 5%. If we use another marketer
for some of your fruit what ever they
charge will be absorbed by us - so you
will not pay any more for us marketing
if we utilise them - we deduct their
cost from the marketing fee we
charge. If you choose to
market through a brand other than ours
and not use our carton/brand, we charge
.40 cents more per tray/carton, to
accommodate line changes and carton
handling and storage.
Consignment
costs to the markets are included in our
packing charge when marketing through us
and our marketing partners.
Marketing through SuperPak is NOT
required and you may self market.
One consignment per batch run is
included at no charge and each
additional consignment destination is
$50 when self
marketing.
