Results More than 1 out of 2 Australian households purchased Mandarins during the last season, spending $8.50 in approximately 2.1 kgs of the mandarins in the same period. While average value sales increased, volume decreased slightly Mandarins over performs in Family segments proving that the current advertising and promotional campaign works (targeting the correct demographic) Woolworths are doing the best job of early season market share. Coles gain share using discounted price points and increasing its presence within loose and barcoded bag mandarins.
However increase in spend per shopping trip is resulting in an overall increase of the amount spent on the commodity during the latest season.

Crossroads The threat the program will become extinct without contributions from the majority of growers To commit to any type of program for 2014, planning and media bookings need to be made now. We are truly at a crossroads without some serious commitment, the program will cease.
What can we do with the funds? Do we need to change the current structure of the program? Do we need to change timings? Does Give me a Mandy Mum need a re-fresh or do we leave it as is (winning formula) Suggestions/discussion?
