Strawberry Sales have bounced back

After a week of cancelled orders, strawberry sales have bounced back! All thanks to the support of the consumers and the facebook campaign: #smashastrawb and #supportwafarmers.

Our erecting machines are running 24/7 to keep up with the demand. We couldn’t be more happier for the growers.

Strawberry Sabotage

Strawberry season is our biggest season of the year. It runs July to October. We supply the bulk of our cartons and punnets during this season.We had a good start to the season and September is when it peaks.

Unfortunately the Needle sabotage where needles have been found in Strawberries across Australia and now in WA, has effected the local growers tremendously.As a result, a number of growers and fruit merchants have started purchasing metal detectors to detect any metal in packed produce.

We hope that the season will pick up from here and the sabotage stops.
We are currently looking into a tamper proof packing solution.

Asia Fruit Logistica, Hong Kong

Ken and I travelled to Hong Kong for the Asia Fruit Logistica on the 6th of September 2018. The purpose of the trip was to look for new products that we could possibly bring in for our customers in the Fruit and produce sector. This is the second largest Fruit and produce show in the world and has many great products.

We were very kindly taken there by one of our suppliers of punnets, and we had an amazing time. We also managed to see some of our loyal customers there and shared a few laughs.
