Pear in Australia
Most Australian pears are grown in Victoria's Goulburn Valley around Shepparton, with smaller volumes from the Yarra Valley, Orange, the Adelaide Hills, Tasmania and WA. Packham's Triumph, Williams (Bartlett) and Beurré Bosc are the main varieties, and long-term cold storage carries Packham's through much of the year.
Pears ripen after harvest, so firmness at packing and ripening programs for retail decide how each lot is sold.
From receival to invoice
- Receive Bins received by grower, block and variety with firmness at harvest.
- Store Cold and CA storage by lot with room records and test history.
- Grade & prepare Grading by size, shape and blemish; conditioning for ripe-ready programs.
- Pack & ship Trays, bags and loose cartons for retailers, markets and processors.
Pear quality checks
Inspections on phones or tablets with photos, against templates set to each customer's specification. Results attach to the lot and appear on grower and customer QC reports.
