Frankly Speaking - Week 26 Update

Please accept this Grower Update to the end of week 26 [Sunday 28 June].

 

The season of inventory management has started and so far so good. We have responded to some softening lines at Oakside and have been working through this issue. It’s been a process of ensuring that the right fruit is loaded next when we match fruit to orders. Fruit is loading out well and in spec and really our teams have reacted ahead of any issue. The first CA and Bin stores will be opened this week for shipping next.

 

So far so good.

 

My blog will from next week focus more on inventory performance. The statistics as at midnight Sunday 28 June 2015:
