What was it all about?

This plan was prepared by and for the Australian Avocado industry to guide its future R & D and Marketing activity in Australia’s significant and growing Foodservice market.

For some time AAL and the IAC felt that more should be known about the Foodservice market in Australia; how Avocados were perceived and used in that market; and what potential there may have been to stimulate sales growth. There was clear evidence that Foodservice as a category was a significant and growing proportion of total food consumption. But little was known about the position in the market of fresh fruit and vegetables.

As a second stage, beyond the desire for a better understanding of Avocados in Foodservice, the project generated this recommended plan for R & D and marketing activity in Foodservice.
