Felix Instruments' Avocado Quality Meter Makes a Cameo Appearance

F-751 Avocado Quality Meter taking a dry matter measurement
It's always fun to see our instruments unexpectedly pop up in the news. Last month, the F-751 Avocado Quality Meter made a cameo appearance in Fresh Plaza's interview with Global Avocado's CEO, João Bento.

Mr. Bento feels that Portuguese avocados are becoming a staple product in the European market as volumes increase every year. “At the moment, Portuguese production is already very important to the European market, not only because of its weight in quantity, which is increasing year after year and which customers want to keep track of but also because of its recognized quality that everyone wants."

Global Avocados proudly uses the F-751 Avocado Quality Meter to assess fruit maturity.
