The share of packed fruit meeting Class 1 (premium) grade, plotted across lines. Packout is where a season’s agronomy turns into money: the same tonnes can earn very different income depending on how much makes premium grade versus falling to process.
Australian pome-fruit Class 1 packouts have averaged around 65–70% in industry benchmarking, while well-managed and netted orchards target 80% and above; every point of packout moves fruit between a carton price and a juice price.
APAL Orchard Business Analysis ↗The spread of packout across lines shows how much fruit fell just short of grade on size, colour, blemish or bruising — often recoverable through netting, handling and harvest timing. A low or variable packout is usually a bigger lever on income than raw yield.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Net vulnerable blocks to cut hail, sunburn and bird damage.
Handle and cool fruit gently through harvest to limit bruising.
Pick to maturity and colour targets rather than a fixed date.
