IFP Market Update - Feb 10

Tasmanian Vine Ripened Tomatoes

Tasmanian Vine Ripened Tomatoes are in excellent condition now. Highly regarded for their superior flavour, aroma and colour compared to alternatives. Perfect for salads, sandwiches, bruschetta, pasta sauces, burgers and breakfast plates.

From a merchandising point of view, vine-ripened tomatoes are a hero line. They drive impulse purchases, pair beautifully with basil, bocconcini, avocados and salad leaves, and work exceptionally well in cross-promotions and meal-solution displays. Their visual appeal alone helps lift the entire fresh produce department.

Tasmanian Blueberries

Tasmanian Blueberries are currently in excellent supply and showcasing the outstanding quality the state is renowned for. Grown in Tasmania’s cool climate, these berries develop a natural sweetness balanced with fresh acidity, along with firm texture and deep colour.

They’re an incredibly versatile line for shoppers, making a perfect addition to breakfasts, smoothies and baking, while also being an easy, healthy option for school lunchboxes. Whether sprinkled over cereal, mixed through yoghurt, or enjoyed straight from the punnet, Tasmanian blueberries offer convenience, flavour and strong repeat purchase appeal.

Potatoes 2.5kg Bags

Our 2.5kg Potato Bags are now packed with new season potatoes, offering excellent eating quality and strong value for customers. The current variety is Dutch Cream, well known for its rich, creamy texture and versatile cooking performance.

Dutch Cream potatoes are ideal for roasting, mashing, baking and casseroles, holding their shape while delivering great flavour. With their all-round appeal and everyday usability, they remain a reliable staple for family meals and a consistent seller in-store.

Plums - Queen Garnett variety

Queen Garnet Plums are instantly recognisable by their striking deep red flesh and rich, dark skin, making them a standout for eye-catching displays. Inside, they deliver a bold, sweet-tart flavour with a rich, fruity nectar that sets them apart from standard plum varieties.

Renowned for their naturally high antioxidant content, Queen Garnet plums appeal strongly to health-conscious shoppers while still delivering on taste. They’re excellent eaten fresh, sliced into salads, or used in desserts, baking and sauces.
