A premium ingredient grown in its natural home

When Jacqui Price joined Australian Macadamias as Market Development Manager in June 2020, the industry was in a position of strength. It was forecasting a crop of 50,300 tonnes at 10% moisture and had achieved a record high farm-gate price.

Food product innovation is moving fast, and we’re here to help you keep pace. With their rich flavour, creamy texture and nutritional appeal, macadamias offer endless potential as an ingredient.

Australia’s mid-season macadamia crop forecast has been sharply downgraded, as growers and processors manage one of the most difficult and unpredictable seasons in recent years. Continued weather-related disruptions mean the true extent of available supply is difficult to determine at this stage. As a result, the revised forecast now anticipates production will fall within a range of 37,300 to 41,970 tonnes in-shell at 3.5% moisture (40,000 to 45,000 tonnes in-shell at 10% moisture), down from the previous estimate of 55,960 tonnes in-shell at 3.5% moisture (60,000 tonnes in-shell at 10% moisture).
