Availability
The season runs from March to July. Over those five months supply can be scheduled week by week, and volumes and formats are best agreed before the start of the campaign to secure continuity through the May and June peak.
Sizes and packaging
Working sizes are 65/70, 70/75 and 75/80, expressed in millimetres of diameter, so each market can match the grade to its price segment. Fruit travels in cardboard boxes in the following formats:
- 2 kg bags for retail.
- 15 kg loose: 48 boxes per Euro pallet, 64 per 100×120 pallet.
- Single tray, 7 kg: 88 boxes per Euro pallet, 110 per 100×120 pallet.
- Double tray, 10 kg: 52 boxes per Euro pallet, 65 per 100×120 pallet.
- 18 kg bushel for wholesale and food service.
Transport, cold chain and compliance
The recommended transport temperature is 1-3 °C, held from dispatch to delivery. The group's growers work under GLOBALG.A.P. and IFS, together with the equivalent standards demanded by European retailers, with lot and farm traceability and full compliance with EU rules on maximum residue levels, plant protection products and labelling. Every consignment leaves with documentation that lets the importer cross-check lot, origin and packing date at goods-in, which shortens reception checks at the destination platform.
Buyers planning green apples for March to July can agree sizes, format and palletisation with Hortiberia's sales team before the campaign opens.
