About Us
Welcome to Citrus Australia!
The citrus industry in Australia is worth $440 million and represents the interests of over 2000 citrus growers. It is the largest fresh fruit exporter, with annual export earnings of $180 million.
The most produced citrus varieties are Oranges (76%), Mandarins (16%) followed by lemon and limes (5.5%) and grapefruit (2.5%).
Citrus Australia is the national peak body for citrus growers and affiliates - a member based ‘not for profit’ organisation, which is funded by grower and affiliate membership. Formed on 1 November 2008, Citrus Australia Ltd acquired operations of Australian Citrus Growers following a meeting on 14 October 2008, where delegates voted in favour of the resolution.
Leading the industry in policy and representation, communication, domestic & export marketing, industry development and national resource management, Citrus Australia provides practical information, advice and assistance to members. It also ensures current and emerging issues, including industrial relations, biosecurity and market access are heard at all levels of government.
In its first year, Citrus Australia has been relentless in its commitment to building strong relationships with members, retailers and the wider industry. Key industry development programs have been delivered, as well as a national forum on “Understanding the Supply Chain”, continuous lobbying to government on key policy issues (Water, AQIS fees, Horticulture Award 2010) and the planning of a national conference in November 2009.
Citrus Australia consults with state boards and regional organisations to develop and implement priority programs for the Citrus industry.
Citrus Australia’s head office is based in the vibrant regional city of Mildura, Victoria, with a regional office in beautiful Brisbane, Queensland.
