Our starch and colour charts accurately reflect the standards by which our co-operative receives our grower's fruit. By using these standards, growers can effectively manage their harvest, minimizing quality issues by picking their fruit before it becomes overmature.

Starch Charts: Assessing Apple Maturity for Harvest

These starch charts were designed to give the industry a indicator as to the optimum harvest dates for each variety, based on quality, storage potential, and sugar -to-starch ratio.

These starch charts will be used for harvest.

Colour Charts

(Coming Soon)

These colour charts were designed to give growers and staff a clear "picture" of what standards are needed for making the grade for each variety. By using these charts, growers can see what colour is needed for their fruit, minimizing over maturity due to let fruit "hang for colour".
