Join us at APAL’s 2024 Future Orchards® Harvest Series from to review the season to date.
This Harvest Series Orchard Walk will be taking place at Prime Organics on Monday, 18 March 2024 at 3pm.
This orchard walk will be about the fruit quality and maturity standards. Pomewest were successful in undertaking a trial as part of APAL’s Future Orchards trial funding. Tracking apples to determine temperature variations along the supply chain, a 3-month trial tracking apples from the South-West to Perth, Western Australia. The trial involved using tracking technology to monitor temperature fluctuations of apples transported from 2 pack sheds in WA to the delivery centres and stores. Guest speakers from Escavox Bianca Delkou and Lauren Viney will be at the orchard walk to present the findings from the trial.
APAL’s data analyst Lauren Mann will also be presenting on the tree census data collection and how this will change the crop estimate process.
The presentation will start at Joy Jarvis’s place on Upper Capel Road and following the presentations a walk into the Jarvis orchard to discuss seasonal issues for 2024.
The afternoon will conclude with a sundowner to continue the discussions.
Ever wondered how well your fruit travels once it leaves the farm? Ever felt deprived of information when fruit has been discounted or rejected due to quality issues, even though you knew it was perfect when packed?
Do you want to know how to improve your cold chain compliance when supplying domestic or export?
You can gain these insights and more when Australian supply chain experts, Escavox, present the findings of a three-month Future Orchards funded trial aimed at giving WA apple growers more information about how their supply chains work.
Using the only live tracking technology in the world focused solely on food supply chains, the trial measured the performance of supply chains carting apples from two South-West pack sheds into Perth.
Lauren Viney and Bianca Delkou from Escavox will present the report's key findings, promising to surprise some, and enlighten all with what the trial has uncovered and what steps can be taken to achieve greater success.
Escavox was established to give food suppliers end-to-end visibility of their supply chains through the power of live information.
