A conveying assembly for fruit handling, comprising a carriage ( 20 ) adapted to be attached to a conveying chain arranged to displace the carriage in a conveying direction, a cup ( 30 ) adapted to support a single piece of fruit, the cup being secured to the carriage via a parallelogram linkage ( 41, 42, 22, 35 ) extending transversely to the conveying direction, the cup being pivotally secured to the linkage to be moveable from a conveying position to a discharge position, the linkage having release means ( 60 ) to cause the cup to pivot relative to the linkage transversely of the conveying direction to the discharge position to effect discharge of the fruit, the linkage allowing the cup to be vertically displaceable to effect weighting of the fruit.
