The Australian citrus industry is the largest fresh fruit exporter
in the Australian horticultural industry. In 2002/03 record export
volumes of 167,000 tonnes were achieved, with an estimated gross
value production of A$201 million.
Australia can export high quality fresh navel oranges and mandarins
when they are out of season in the northern hemisphere. This includes
Asian markets where Australia also has a natural advantage of
proximity.
Massive restructuring within the Australian industry over recent
years has allowed the industry to capitalise on the competitive
advantages. The real value of citrus exports has grown at an impressive
14% per year between 1999 and 2001 - faster than the growth in
Australia's total exports of goods and services.
The major markets for Australian navels are the USA, Hong Kong
and Malaysia. Australian valencias are popular in Malaysia, Hong
Kong and Singapore, whilst the major markets for mandarins are
Hong Kong, Indonesia, USA and Japan.
Citrus Australia has a policy of investigating orderly marketing arrangements
in all new export markets in order to make returns back to growers.
Orderly marketing reviews are undertaken by an industry group
consisting of growers and packers and exporters and implemented
by Horticulture Australia Limited through the export control powers.
