The average $/kg your fruit actually earned, split by grade, and read against cost of production to give your margin per kilo. The gap between grades is the part of the price you manage through packout, storage and market choice.
Fruit prices are grade-driven and cyclical — benchmark your $/kg by grade and track it against your own cost of production, since the Class 1-to-process spread alone can be well over a dollar a kilo.
APAL — Prices ↗A widening gap between Class 1 and the fruit you actually sold signals value slipping to lower grades — recoverable through packout, storage and marketing rather than a better market. It turns the same tonnes into more income.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Defend Class 1 packout to keep fruit off the process price.
Use storage to sell into stronger windows rather than all at harvest.
Develop export and premium programs that pay for size and flavour.
