Growing the fruit business starts with fruit producers
No matter how cutting edge or beneficial, no new produce item gets to market without the support of producers – growers, packers, shippers, marketers, wholesalers and distributors. Founded by a fruit grower, our company understands that taking a new innovation to market starts with the production side of the supply chain.
Arctic Apples reflect OSF’s commitment to improving our industry. The benefits of growing, packing and selling Arctic Apples include:
Growers:
- The competitive advantage of an excitement-generating new entry into the apple category
- Less cullage due to finger bruising, bins rubs and other blemishes that occur during harvesting and packing line handling
- Higher packout rates
- Incremental increase in fruit packing out at a higher grade
Packer/shippers:
- The competitive advantage of a new entry into the apple category
- Less bin rub and packing line bruising
- More flexibility in scheduling of packing
- Higher late-season fruit pressure for delicate varieties such as Golden Delicious, as warming fruit prior to packing will no longer be necessary
- Higher quality fruit to sell
- Exciting new product to highlight to your customers
Marketers, wholesalers and distributors:
- Higher quality fruit to sell
- Less shrink, higher rings means money in your pocket
- Exciting new product to highlight to your customers
