Almond Harvest set to exceed 2009 crop

(National Release)

Almond orchards across Australia are currently alive with activity as almond growers are harvesting this year’s crop which is set to be a significant improvement on last year.

Crop forecast figures released by the Almond Board of Australia (ABA) reveal a 25 percent increase in the 2010 Australian harvest which is expected to produce 46,100 tonnes of almonds, up from 36,500 tonnes in 2009.

Almond Board of Australia (ABA) CEO, Julie Haslett said the overall outlook for the Australian almond industry is positive.

“The positive 2010 crop forecast figures show yet again that the Australian almond industry is on the rise – and it is only going to continue. Less than 20 per cent of all Australian almond plantings have reached full maturity so there will be a significant increase in almond production within the next decade,” Haslett said.
