02Citrus Australia | Annual Report 2017

Who we are CITRUS Australia Ltd is the recognised peak industry body representing the nation’s commercial citrus growers.

From the chair IN WHAT will be my fi nal chair report for Citrus Australia not only would I like to highlight some key achievements during 2017 but I would like to refl ect on our achievements over the past 10 years.

From an organisation with eight inaugural members trying to get some runs on the board, Citrus Australia is now a nationally recognised industry representative body. We have key members in every growing region of Australia – with a membership base that continues to grow every month – and with Regional Advisory Committees in each region representing those members we ensure regional priorities are bought to a national level.

This is an organisation that has been instrumental in assisting growers to achieve record exports around the globe, including to China where in excess of 72,000 tonnes were shipped last season, which has led to increased profi ts, increased investment and unprecedented demand for citrus produce, nursery trees and orchards.

The past 12 months have continued to build on these foundations with wins in market access, increased biosecurity funding and record attendance at our annual events, which in turn has meant increased sponsorship and corporate partnerships to ensure not only are we holding great events with relevant content, but costs for our members are kept to a minimum. The purchase of our very own offi ce building in Mildura saw us move from Lime Avenue to Lemon Avenue – read into that what you will, but the very essence of citrus is behind every decision we make.

It would be remiss of me not to pay homage to Judith, and while I know I do not need to remind anyone of her contribution to industry, I would like to take the opportunity to thank her for not only that contribution and her leadership but also her friendship to us all.

I wish Nathan every success in his role as CEO. I have every confi dence that not only does he bring the right skill set to the table, but he brings with it a passion that will ensure the citrus industry is well represented at every level. Add to that the amazing team now working for you, the members and the whole of industry, across key aspects including market access, biosecurity, quality assurance and the Korea-China-Thailand program. I have faith that the industry will continue to prosper.

In closing I would like to thank the staff and members of Citrus Australia and our corporate partners, key partners and sponsors for their support over the past eight years while I have had the privilege to be Chair.

From the CEO


Introducingthe new CEOIN NOVEMBER 2017, former Quality and Market Information Manager at Citrus Australia Nathan Hancock took over the CEO reins at the company. With 17 years’ experience working in horticulture, Nathan brings his industry knowledge and wealth of relationships built across the national and international citrus industry and supply chain to the leadership position.

IT HAS been a year of solid performance and positive change for Citrus Australia in the 2017 fi nancial year.

Records tumbled throughout the year – there was a ‘national shortage’ of oranges early in the year with high prices paid by juice processing companies; retail shelves for Australian juice were left empty for months until supply came back on line mid-year; and exports exceeded 2016 volume and value by the end of September.

As always there were still a few challenges including the Imperial mandarin season, smaller fruit sizes for oranges and the frost impact in some regions.

Citrus Australia also achieved some signifi cant records during the year including:

� Sold out Citrus Technical Forum and Field Day event in Mildura

� Led the successful inaugural Australian citrus trade seminars in Japan, supported by Hort Innovation and Austrade Japan with over 200 local importers, retailers, and food service representatives attending

� Hosted the Japan and Korean citrus export inspectors

� Hosted and featured in the China CCTV documentary about the ‘famous Australian navel orange’ which aired in China late 2017

� Facilitated and welcomed the announcement to improve the China export protocol

� Assisted with submissions into the review of the Modern Award

� Supported an enhanced citrus biosecurity and surveillance program

� Published four quarterly editions of Australian Citrus News, 18 fortnightly e-newsletters, 11 Season Updates and attracted more than 1,500 followers on Twitter

� Changed CEO

� Added two new market development staff members

� Launched a new website and e-newsletter format

� Finalised our fi rst major property purchase (offi ce building in Mildura).

As this is my last annual report I would like to thank the Citrus Australia Board, staff , members, sponsors, Hort Innovation, Plant Health Australia and the many other people I have worked with over the years in the Australian citrus industry. It has been an absolute honour to represent the industry and assist it to prosper. The future ahead certainly looks exciting.

He said Manjimup had plenty of empty cool storage that had been used previously for potatoes.

The couple’s vision was to have Australian lemons in supermarkets year-round, he said.

Industry movesIt seems Cliff and Vicki were not the only people to have this idea, and �� rows of lemon trees in 2014, others in the region around Manjimup and Pemberton have planted some, too. Cliff said many of these plantings were sizable and he was aware of a 10,000-plus planting of lemon trees north of Perth as well.

In his research, Cliff found some interesting similarities between Smith Brook and Santa Paula in Ventura County in California, where one of the world’s largest lemon producers, Limoneira, has its base.

Cliff was interested to learn that strawberries were Ventura County’s most valuable crop (at US$691 million gross revenues in 2012), followed by lemons (US$202m), raspberries (US$187m), nursery stock (US$186m), celery (US$134m) and avocados (US$113m).

California produces about 85 per cent of US lemons, and Ventura County produces about 40 per cent of Californian lemons

In Ventura County, the crops that cover the most land are avocados (about 19,000 acres or 7,689ha) and lemons (6,000 acres or 6,400 ha).

Manjimup Shire producers about a quarter of Australia’s avocados

and is a major region for strawberry production in WA (with two new strawberry farms having been established recently).

Cliff and Vicki visited Limoneira’s operation in Ventura and were given a tour by the managers.

Cliff said he was very impressed by its materials handling, biosecurity and product vertical integration.

“They are the benchmark; not only do they grow lemons and export them around the world, they also do things with their seconds, such as producing cosmetic lemon oil, and every Tuesday they send out a recipe via their eNewsletter. They even have weddings in the orchard,” Cliff said.

Throughout the month of May (2017), the Australian citrus industry, with the support of the Northern Australian Quarantine Strategy (NAQS) and NT Department of Primary Industries and Resources, conducted biosecurity surveys of citrus plantings in the Darwin and Katherine regions.

Australia is on track to adopt some of the most sophisticated plant pest surveillance technologies in the world after Hort Innovation secured a Federal Government grant and co-investor funding to deliver a $21 million plant biosecurity push.

international standards.

NRS residue monitoring programsResidue monitoring programs take account of

importing country requirements and are designed

in consultation with participating industries and

the department. Programs include:

• Meat–cattle, pig, sheep, goat, poultry (chicken,

duck, turkey, spatchcock, quail), camel, deer, emu,

horse, donkey, kangaroo, ostrich and wild boar

Key points

• Australian primary producers continue to demonstrate a high degree of compliance with Australian Standards

• Excellent industry participation and engagement with a range of animal and plant industries over a number of years

• National Residue Survey is certified to ISO 9001 Quality Management System
