2017 Australian macadamia crop reaches 46,000 tonnes in-shell

Australian macadamia growers have produced a crop of 46,000 tonnes in-shell @ 10% moisture (43,000 tonnes in-shell @ 3.5% moisture) for the 2017 season, announced the peak industry body, the Australian Macadamia Society today.

Rain and flooding from Tropical Cyclone Debbie in March and record rainfall in the Northern Rivers region in June significantly impacted the crop, which is approximately 10% lower than the forecast issued post Cyclone Debbie. Kernel production is down marginally at 9,000 tonnes.

Global demand for macadamias remains strong across all markets for both kernel and in-shell and the Australian macadamia industry continues to contribute with its global marketing effort which has just seen the launch of the first stage of its new three-year international marketing strategy.

The industry’s market development manager Lynne Ziehlke says the strategy is designed to further drive steady growth in global demand in anticipation of more robust supply becoming available in the coming years.

“In preparation for the expected increases in global production, we’ve ramped up our commitment to the kernel market with the launch of a new initiative designed to encourage greater use of kernel in food products,” says Ms. Ziehlke.

The initiative includes an ‘innovation challenge’ to discover new product concepts and a series of consumer research aimed at uncovering new insights.

Meanwhile, Australian macadamia growers are investing significant time and resources into nurturing the 2018 crop, with preparations well underway for the next harvest which will begin in February.

The 2017 Australian macadamia crop figure is provided by the Australian Macadamia Society based on actual factory receipts of the Australian Macadamia Handlers Association (AMHA) plus data from other key industry sources, which, when combined account for 99% of all macadamia handling in Australia.

天氣與果園狀況導致作物預測大幅調整

澳洲的夏威夷果中季作物預測大幅下修,原因是種植者與加工商正面對近年來最困難且難以預測的季節之一。由於天氣持續帶來干擾,目前仍難以準確掌握實際可供應的數量。因此,修正後的預測現在預估產量將落在以 3.5% 水分計算的去殼重量 37,300 至 41,970 公噸之間,(即以 10% 水分計算的去殼重量為 40,000 至 45,000 公噸),低於先前預估的以 3.5% 水分計算的去殼重量 55,960 公噸(以 10% 水分計算為 60,000 公噸)。
