Resumo: | A tool to ease the market introduction of scab resistant apple varieties in supermarkets, is the socalled  «Flavour Group Concept (FGC; Weibel and Grab, 2000) that has been developed by FiBL  and «Coop» (second biggest supermarket retailer of Switzerland) already in 1995. The FGC is providing  to the buyers additional information on the specific flavour direction of that "unknown" apple  cultivar in front of them (mild to sweet; spicy-tart; predominantly tart). In 2002 a consumer behaviour  study was undertaken by «IHA/GfK-Switzerland» Institute to evaluate the consumer response to the  FGC.  The results reveal that 36 % of the persons interviewed at the point of sale considered additional  information on the flavour direction of the apple cultivars as «important» and 40 % as «very important  ». Information on flavour direction was considered as the second important information at the  shelf (59 % score), compared to the general presentation of the apples with 78 % score. On basis of  these positive results, Coop introduced the FGC also for conventional apples. One year later, also  the biggest supermarket retailer of Switzerland «Migros»introduced a FGC for organic and conventional  apples.  To develop further the FGC, in the year 2002, a consortium of the supermarket chain Coop-  Switzerland, organic apple growers, retailers and FiBL experts joined together in a so-called «Variety  Team». There, in contrast to Variety Clubs, the focus is not a particular variety but the active  creation and promotion of an attractive assortment of scab resistant apple varieties in a well coordinated  and thus for growers and retailers most efficient way. Investments and risks are evenly  shared between the Team Partners. The first cultivar promoted is «Ecolette».
