Retail Pricing

Retail price plays a very important role in determining the efficiency of the supply chain. Price has a direct impact on how well fruit flows through the system and consequently on fruit quality. 

If prices are at a level that impact negatively on consumption, then at high production times of the year this can cause a back log of fruit which consequently causes quality issues.

Price transparency is therefore of vital importance in order to monitor trends and predict the impact of current retail prices on stocks of fruit and on returns to growers.

Based on this knowledge the avocado retail price survey project was initiated.  Since September 2008, retail prices have been collected weekly from 16 stores in capital cities including Brisbane (Qld), Sydney (NSW), Melbourne (Vic) and Perth (WA).

The stores surveyed include Coles, Woolworths, Independent Supermarkets and Independent Fruit and Vegetable stores.  These prices are reported on a weekly basis to packhouses as a section in the weekly Infocado reports and are also available below.
