Australian Horticulture Statistics released

The latest edition of the Australian Horticulture Statistics Handbook is live and includes improved functionality and user preferences.

The handbook features data on more than 70 horticultural products including fruit, nuts, vegetables, nursery, turf and cut flowers.

Data shows that in 2018/19, the horticulture sector recorded its highest production value to date.

Value of produce

The sector has experienced seven years of consecutive growth, according to the statistics.

Results by category show that in the fruit sector, the value of berries and citrus accounted for nearly one third (32%) of the total value of fruit in 2018/19.

The value of the vegetable category increased by nearly 9% to reach a value of $4.7 billion in 2018/19. Potatoes were the most valuable vegetable product at $752.6 million.

All hale almonds

Almonds were the highest-valued horticulture product overall, achieving a record export value of $675 million.

Almonds and macadamias also accounted for 89% of the total value of nut production in 2018/19, up from 85% in the previous year.

New features

“The new interface allows users to dynamically select products ‘on demand’ and perform a greater range of timeseries analysis on the data which now dates back seven years to 2012/13,” says Hort Innovation’s Head of Data and Insights, Adam Briggs.

“These additional features mean that our stakeholders have more horticulture statistics available at their fingertips so they can remain informed and make the best decision for the success of their business.

“Hort Innovation is excited to launch this new iteration and will continue to develop the data,” concludes Mr Briggs.

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...
