Australia: Industria de los berries crece con fuerza

Australia’s berry industry has gone through a period of significant growth in recent years with production growing strongly to over a billion dollars in farmgate value in 2019/20.

While exports have shown solid growth, domestic consumption remains the primary market at over 95 per cent. Growth in production has seen berries become more readily available on supermarket shelves, however it has also had the longer-term impact of pushing prices lower as supply catches up with demand.

Looking forward, with new production capacity of around 12 per cent of total current production expected to bear fruit in coming years, the development of new market access opportunities remains crucial to the berry industry’s value proposition.

Average growth of 9 per cent per year over the past 10 years has seen Australian berry production almost double in that time – making it one of the highest value horticulture sectors in the country. With production spread up and down the eastern seaboard, with raspberries focused down south and strawberries and blueberries up north, it is a large and diverse market.
