Episode Synopsis
After every Citrus SA committee meeting, Chair Mark Doecke provides a comprehensive update on the committee's recent activities. In the latest update:
Harvest Highlights: Mark reports the navel season has concluded and Valencia harvest is well underway. Growers are reporting a slight kick in prices for Valencia oranges.
Fruit Fly Update: The ongoing battle against fruit flies remains a priority. Mark highlights that the number of detections is notably low, thanks in part to the release of sterile fruit flies by PIRSA. The introduction of up to 40 million steriles per week is proving to be a highly effective strategy.
Industry Representation in Canberra: Mark shares his participation in a Taste the Basin event, where he engaged with politicians in Canberra to showcase the citrus industry.
