Fruit consumption is directly linked to fruit quality. On stone fruits, quality is one of the most important parameters due to a quick evolution during maturation and post-harvest. All the actors involved in fruit production from growers to consumers have an influence on fruit quality. Growers maintain two main phases under control: first, the variety choice because it defines a potential fruit quality; second, the technical practices by the optimization and the control of fruit carbohydrate accumulation. The influence and relative contribution of both factors are discussed.
