Blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) production in the South Pacific has increased steadily over the last 5 years as the substantial plantings carried out in the early-mid 1980s have matured. The increase has not been as rapid as was originally forecast because of fluctuating returns which reduced grower confidence and caused many producers to pull out their plantings. The New Zealand and Australian industries have developed over a relatively short period of time and difficulties in cultural management and marketing have been encountered. Significant progress in the development of new cultivars, better suited to local conditions and able to withstand export to distant markets, has added confidence to both industries. Combining the attributes of better cultivars with improved cultural and postharvest management has enabled both industries to successfully market blueberries worldwide as high quality fresh and frozen products.
