For many years, Australian avocado growers have been supplying avocados all year round both in Australia and globally.
We have established a reputation for being consistent and premium avocado suppliers with strong in-market presence and we offer long-term commitments with our partners. In eight main growing regions across Australia from far north Queensland to the southwest of Western Australia our growers pride themselves on their growing practices and our clean, green growing conditions.
Australia’s avocado industry has seen significant export growth in recent years.
In the 2023/24 season, Australia, known for its focus on producing high quality avocados, exported almost 22,000 tonnes, or 14.6 per cent of its 150,913 tonne-crop* – a seven-fold increase in just three years. This growth in current markets is expected to continue, year-on-year. We are also committed to opening up new markets.
Australian avocados are well known for their excellent quality both in Australia and in our international markets. The great flavour of Australian avocados is a key point of difference, as well as the reliable quality and freshness of Australian avocados supplied into our nearby international markets.
Our ability to supply avocados all year round comes from our wide range of climates from subtropical in the north to temperate in the south.
Kym Thiel, an Australian avocado grower/packer and exporter based in the Tristate growing region and Brad Rodgers, a grower based in Western Australia (WA) are both expecting excellent up-coming seasons.
“Despite the recent dry conditions trees are healthy, and the fruit is of excellent quality,” said Kym Thiel.
Brad Rodgers agrees.
“I have a very positive outlook on the season and I’m expecting excellent quality fruit,” said Brad.
Australian avocados’ award winning B2B and B2C international marketing teams are delivering a comprehensive program to support Australian avocado exports throughout the year. They are emphasising Australia’s commitment to our overseas partners particularly through retail and food service campaigns in key markets such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Middle East.
