Week 4 At The SourceThe cumulative rainfall during the week was negligible with only 4.2 mm (0.17 in). Our weather continued with low night temperatures, little rainfall and sunny days. With lower precipitation comes less risk of water spotting and high translucency which will allow us to increase the age of the fruit at harvest (WAF). We expect this increase in fruit age will be pivotal in improving some of the most important fruit quality characteristics as has been mentioned repeatedly above. This increase in age should cause a decrease in volume to be exported industry wide over the next 2-3 weeks. The process of identification of the natural fruit continued and is now an integral part of our daily routine. We will collect a reliable inventory of the amount of fruit that will be harvested down the road and we will share with you to plan orderly movement. The bad news is, we can affirm with some certainty, that last week brought another important NDF event due to the low night temperatures recorded. Certainly January is turning out to be one of the coldest January's we have in our climatic records over the last 10 years - all due to low night temperatures.
