Carter & Spencer recently launched a very eye-catching new carton design for their dragon fruit complete with the company's branding.
"The new cartons reached the Australian market in time for Chinese New Year," explains Mark Bohringer, Director of International Business at Carter & Spencer. "We do a lot into Australian retail so we needed to work closely with our approved suppliers and packers in Vietnam to make sure everything met the standard as well as maximising the number of cartons per container. They are also great to showcase our product at in the wholesale markets."
Carter & Spencer support Australian dragon fruit growers while they are in season and import to supplement the 12 month supply.
"We are importing multiple containers per month, but import volumes depend on our retail partners and what promotions are on and what size profiles are available. We also have to work closely with shipping lines and deal with availability and delays. It is all a matter of good communication with all the partners in the chain."
Mark said it is easy to turn things around quickly in South East Asia as they work at speed, "Carter & Spencer are also very good at turning things around making things happen quickly."
