The soluble-sugar concentration of the fruit measured by refractometer, by line, against the minimum eating and export spec. It is the single best proxy for flavour — the trait that drives whether a consumer buys the fruit again.
Soluble sugar (°Brix) underpins eating quality and repeat purchase; many markets and export protocols set a minimum Brix, and premium programs reward fruit comfortably above it.
APAL — Maturity Testing ↗Brix below spec means fruit that looks the part but eats flat, risking market rejection and lost repeat sales. Watching it by line lets you hold back under-ripe fruit and target the premium and export programs that pay for flavour.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Pick to maturity and Brix targets, not just size and colour.
Manage crop load and canopy light so every fruit ripens fully.
Segregate lines by Brix to meet premium and export specs.
