Growing Regions
Almonds are commercially produced in very ew locations
around the world, requiring a Mediterranean climate: cold
winters during dormancy and warmer summers to develop
the nut. Producing areas are urther restricted by the need
or suitable land and water availability and reliably dry
weather during harvest.
Australian almonds are predominantly grown across our
Australian states in fve major growing ares:
Adelaide & Riverland regions o South Australia (SA) Riverina region o New South Wales (NSW)
Sunraysia region o Victoria (VIC); and the
Swan region o Western Australia (WA)

Environment & Quality
Almonds are a high value, horticultural crop and are a
naturally efcient converter o water into nutritious ood.
Almonds have a history o producing a high value return per
megalitre o water applied. Sophisticated irrigation systems
ensure that water application matches tree requirements,
all orchards are under pressurised systems with 91% o
plantings are under drip irrigation, and the remainder under
low level sprinklers.

Australias inland irrigated horticulture is known or its
natural advantages, including avourable climatic conditions
and low incidence o pest and disease, providing; cost
advantages, high yields, and excellent product integrity andquality.
The importance o quality is recognised throughout the
entire supply chain, rom grower, processor and marketer,
with world leading on-arm management practices, and
commitment to industry quality standards and testing
programs.
Australias product quality and counter-seasonality allows
access to high value market segments.

Approximately 34% o Australian almond plantings are eight
years and older and have reach ull maturity, and a urther
57% are cropping, but not yet to ull yields. 9% o total
almond plantings are not yet bearing, being less than 3 years
old.

tonnes o nut kernel. Future production increases will occur
as young plantings mature.
Based on existing plantings, productive capacity is orecast
to reach 88,000 tonnes o kernel by 2016, more than double
the 2011 production.
Australia is the third largest producer o almonds in the
world, currently producing around 3.5% o world almonds.
