IMPORTANT and PLEASE NOTE: The monthly forecast and dispatch figures in the Quarterly Infocado Report incorporate an allowance (which varies by region) to allow for the produc on forecasts and dispatches that are not inpu ed into the Infocado system. This produc on (dispatch and forecast) data is not inpu ed for various reasons including some packhouse’s unwillingness to engage with industry and/or lack of computer access. For this reason it is not possible to extrapolate the figures from the Weekly Infocado Report to come up with either the dispatch and/or forecast figures in the Quarterly Infocado Report. At any me the Weekly Infocado Report incorporates around 85% of total produc on and forecasts however this does vary depending on me of year (as a result of the fruit coming from different regions with different levels of packhouse input). It is not func onally possible to incorporate allowances for missing data into the Weekly Infocado Report hence the variance between it and the Quar‐terly Infocado Report.

Comments
Hass average retail price has started to ease in comparison to the past couple of months. Shepard avocados are s ll moving through all the metropolitan ci es though reducing in total volume as the Shepard season comes to an end.
Industry dispatches and the four weekly forecast has risen in comparison to recent weeks, indica ng that there are larger volumes of avo‐cados being harvested in the weeks to come.
Harvest season for Sunshine Coast and South Queensland has begun for 2014. The Shepard season is all but finished for North and Central Queensland whilst Hass harves ng in these regions is well underway.
What you need to be aware of for next month The South Queensland Qualicado workshop was held on 8 May 2014 which focused on growers and packers.
