National Residue Survey 2014/15: Aussie macadamias score 100% for 15th consecutive year!

We're delighted to announce that once again Australian macadamia producers have achieved a perfect score in the 2014/15 National Residue Survey. Our unblemished record has been upheld for 15 years straight and is testament to the world-class in-crop and post-harvest practices of our growers. The programme screens Australian macadamias for a range of chemical pesticides and environmental contaminants and these outstanding results serve to reinforce our global reputation as a clean, green producer of the world's finest macadamias.

The growth in this market over the past seven years has been driven strongly by our marketing program, which is guided by regular consumer research, allowing us to delve inside the minds of Japanese shoppers and better understand how our product is perceived and what motivates them to purchase.
