Superior compliance for more than 25 years
Every year the Australian Government’s National Residue Survey (NRS) verifies growers’ and processors’ commitment to outstanding quality by testing Australian fresh produce for a range of chemical residues and environmental contaminants.
The macadamia industry has participated in the survey since it began in the mid 1990s, achieving strong compliance every year.
The program involves testing Australian macadamias for a range of insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and environmental contaminants, which ensures the macadamia industry can meet quality assurance and market access requirements for domestic and international markets.
The results highlight excellent compliance with Australian standards and demonstrate the strong commitment of our industry to good agricultural practices. The consistently strong compliance rates help maintain the reputation and integrity of Australian macadamia nuts in our domestic and export markets.
These findings are a testament to the dedication of Australia’s macadamia growers and processors and prove the benefits of our industry’s determination to work with nature as much as possible.
