We have just completed the harvest for 2011 with a total of 24 tonne of Nut in Shell (NIS) sent to Yandina Nutworks. We received excellent results averaging 1.2% unsound kernel (USK) and approx 38% sound kernel recovery (SKR).
Also, this year’s offer price was $3.23 plus bonuses for quality so we ended up averaging about $3.80
