WHY THE FlOODPLAINS?

Mature orchards on the NSW floodplains consistently achieve production in the top 5% of Australian orchards which can be linked to high quality soils and a humid climate. 

The floodplains also boast a highwater table (just 0.5-1.5m below the surface) that smaller macadamia trees utilise to produce larger crops, in turn minimising reliance on irrigation.

Across northern NSW there’s estimated 7,500ha suitable for transformation from broadacre cropping to macadamia production; there is scalable opportunity.
