- Description
- The Australian Apple industry is reaching saturation point in the domestic market, hence to ensure that the industry can continue to evolve and remain economically viable there is a critical need to encourage producers to target export markets. Because of a lack of knowledge of market requirements for the various export markets, particularly amongst smaller producers, there is a need to develop and disseminate information on market requirements to the industry as a whole and keep producers informed of any changes to existing market requirements and opening of new export market destinations.In the 2014-2015 season, apple production was 311,758 tonne with a value of $507.4 million, making it the highest value fruit industry in Australia (HIA 2016). Apple exports in 2015 were only 2,134 tonne (0.7% of production). In 2016, apple exports doubled to 5,200 tonnes (analysis of ABS data by Fresh Intelligence), and was the highest export tonnage since 2006. Supporting this potential is the Tasmanian apple growers and their contribution to a targeted export potential level set under the Joint Tasmania Commonwealth Economic Council of $750m in exports by 2020.Exporting is daunting for many producers, and most aren't aware of the process and protocols required. Currently there is no one-stop information and decision making guide in place to facilitate the export of Australian Apples and producers struggle to locate the required information and protocols, resulting in a barrier to exporting. Australian apple producers critically need a process that accurately provides high quality information to achieve the target volumes set and the ability to service highly profitable demand driven markets.To assist producers, Fruit Growers Tasmania Inc. (FGT) in conjunction with the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA) will develop an 'Australian Apple Export Manual and Post-Harvest Guide'. This document will be accessible to all apple producers across Australia, and will provide a step-by-step reference guide to exporting apples to both Protocol and Non-Protocol Countries; including a resource framework and all information required within each step.
