Beans could be sparse as supplies have taken a hit due to compressed rain in growing areas. Washed potatoes remain steady with cauliflower firming due to low supplies as well. In fruit news, apples and pears keep rolling in, with Red Delicious and Royal Gala available in all sizes. Grapes are in appropriate supplies and vast prices. All melons are performing strongly and should remain stable. Strawberry quality is improving with supplies from Stanthorpe and Vic doing well. Concise supplies of pineapple has resulted in some prickly prices, be patient. Summer fruit season is winding down with stone fruit and mangoes dropping away over the tomorrow weeks.

The Clarke family were pioneer settlers at Conway imminent Proserpine, Queensland in 1910 and four generations have subsequently been involved with food and sugar production. In response to the fast development of airline Beach and the Whitsundays we established Fresh Whitsunday as a provider of new fruit and vegetables to the island resorts and restaurants in this area. In 1998 The New Network Mackay branch was opened this business involved bananas ripening and potato packing for numerous Woolworth stores and consequently was our first branch to acquire HACCP Certification. In 1986 we grew the first of considerable crops of commercial watermelons and purchased a retail fruit shop in Proserpine New Affair. In 1995 a partnership was formed with Sang Co in Cairns to create The New Network and we subsequently opened a Brisbane Market distribution facility from which we have operated ever since. We soon added a freight distribution facility at Emerald to service the Central Queensland coalfields. We have been delivering to food service customers over 25 years.
