A premium ingredient grown in its natural home

The Australian macadamia industry welcomes a major development in trade access, with the Government of India officially gazetting an amendment to its Plant Quarantine (Regulation of Import into India) for Australian macadamia nuts. This change significantly improves technical market access, reducing barriers for Australian-grown macadamias to enter one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.

2024 was a year of milestones and extremes. The world watched Trump’s return to the White House, the Paris Olympics brought nations together, and record-breaking global temperatures triggered extreme weather events that disrupted lives and industries alike. AI continued its rapid evolution, shaping how we work and live, while historic voter turnouts across the globe signalled a year of unprecedented civic engagement.

The year’s end always presents an opportunity to reflect on how macadamias have helped drive creativity in the global food and beverage landscape over the past 12 months. 2024’s product launches highlight not only the adaptability of this premium ingredient but also the evolving preferences of both manufacturers and consumers. From their rich, buttery taste and delicately crunchy texture to their impressive nutritional benefits, macadamias have once again proven their value across diverse applications.
