FLEXIBILITY AND SERVICE ENSURE SUCCESS
At AAL we specialise in flexible orchard management programmes designed to maximise production and returns.
By working closely with orchard owners to establish the needs of the trees, the budget, the timeframe and an ultimate goal, we endeavour to use our expertise and experience to achieve improved profitability. At AAL we provide our customers with intelligent solutions to realise their orchard’s potential.
AAL is equipped to handle the jobs you can’t do… right through to the jobs you just don’t want to do.
Some orchard owners prefer simple management plans such as Prune/Fertilise/Harvest, which require regular input from the owner all the way. Others prefer more comprehensive management plans which may include AAL performing daily maintenance tasks like mowing and weed spraying. Whatever the need, we have the right equipment to tackle the tasks and the right labour force to carry them out. AAL can also take care of your pest monitoring, spraying, injecting (Avoject), fertiliser and pollination requirements.
No matter what combination of assistance you require, a contractual relationship with AAL takes care of:
- Your auditable compliance issues. We are fully accredited by Global GAP and our client’s orchards are covered by this when they are under our management. We undergo a day and a half of an independent audit so that you don’t have to.
- Documentation responsibilities to do with Food Safety and Health and Safety. Our Admin services collect and file all the required information.
- Planning. AAL co-ordinates your seasonal orchard tasks saving you valuable time and stress. Whether it’s fertiliser applicatiions or getting ready for export, AAL can help. We schedule the agreed work and consult with the grower when it is time to make choices.
With the avocado industry increasing regulations for growers supplying fruit to export markets, Food Safety, Health and Safety and Integrated Pest Management programmes are increasingly becoming more rigorous and structured, requiring improved orchard management practices.
- In an AAL management programme, AAL undertakes the compliance activities on behalf of the grower.
- Efficiencies within the AAL structure helps growers achieve improved profitability.
- AAL is fully accredited with Global GAP which covers our contract growers.
