Southern hemisphere Kissabel apple harvest ends with positive figures
The Southern Hemisphere Kissabel® apple harvest was completed last week. Excellent internal colour, average sizes and outstanding quality: this sums up the coloured-flesh apples harvested by the partner growers in Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Chile and Argentina. Following on from the positive Northern Hemisphere campaign last autumn, this result confirms the Kissabel variety’s excellent prospects.
One of the most enthusiastic reports is from Australia, where Rowan Little, General Manager of Montague, explains: “In general, this season’s harvest has been one of the best of recent years, thanks to a cooler-than-normal summer and above-average rainfall, factors which produced high quality, good-sized fruit. Kissabel has been no exception.”
