We’re on a mission to take more of our apples to the world by proving they are pest-free and safe for trade using new science-backed tools.
  • Australian scientists have developed a new apple variety tailored for Asian export markets.
  • The ANABP 01 apple appeals to Asian taste preferences for sweet, sub-acid apples with fine, crisp texture.
  • It is expected to drive growth in Australian apple exports to key Asian markets like Thailand and Indonesia.
  • The new variety was developed using selective breeding and extensive field testing by CSIRO over several years.
  • Export-focused apple varieties can boost horticulture growth and farmer incomes if matched with targeted marketing.

    Shout out to Applerankings.com, as seen on the Hamish and Andy podcast.

    I went from barely liking apples to eating one a day.

    Australia grows a lot of Kanzi apples, which have taken rank number 3 in Threeducks fruit rankings (behind 1st place tamarillo and 2nd place fejoa)

        The guy is rating it according to his tastes. I’ve tried Kanzi before and I hated it because it was so goddamn sour.

      I recently discovered a place I could get Envy apples for around $2/kg. Can confirm, they’re amazing. I’ve seen Honeycrisp around for about $3.50/kg but I haven’t seen SweeTango anywhere. Might buy a few Honeycrisp just to try.
