2019 Australian macadamia crop reaches 43,500 tonnes in-shell

Australian macadamia growers have produced a crop of 43,500 tonnes in-shell at 3.5% moisture (46,600 tonnes in-shell at 10% moisture) for the 2019 season, announced the peak industry body, the Australian Macadamia Society today.

The result is slightly higher than the industry’s previous forecast of 42,900 tonnes in-shell at 3.5% moisture (46,000 tonnes at 10% moisture) and is based on actual factory receipts of the Australian Macadamia Handlers Association (AMHA) until the end of October.

AMS CEO Jolyon Burnett said that despite the impact of the unusually long, hot and dry summer early in the year, harvest conditions throughout the 2019 season were favourable and kernel quality was very good.

“It’s still very early days, however it is likely that the 2020 Australian macadamia crop will be impacted by the continuing dry conditions in all growing regions,” said Mr. Burnett.

“There is a degree of uncertainty about the 2020 crop, including the varied impacts the dry weather may have on different regions.”

The AMHA represents over 90% of all the macadamia crop 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)。
