Berries Australia shines at Asia Fruit Logisitca Berries Australia had a terrific first-day at Asia Fruit Logistica impressing customers with premium Australian blueberries at our showcase event. In the Australian Pavilion, our chef prepared three amazing dishes showcasing the versatility of blueberries and delighting the crowds with unique flavour combinations. Berries Australia was especially privileged to welcome Australia’s Consul-General in Hong Kong, Mr Gareth Williams to our stand, where he was joined by James Kellaway, Jesse White, Christian Parsons, Julie Bird, Jan Vydra and Leah Cuttriss to sample the amazing high quality product airfreighted directly from the farm only 48 hours ago!

QLD IDO Wendy Morris was joined by Kishan and Lucy from Queensland Berries at Everything Ag! The Moreton Bay Agriculture Field Day held on 4 September. The day was a fabulous opportunity to connect with job seekers and students from as far afield as Toowoomba. It was also a good reminder that many Australians aren’t aware of just how varied and diverse farm jobs can be – there is more to it than picking fruit 🍓🫐 and driving a tractor 🚜!

FOR SALE: Strawberry Propagator Business Spring Creek Seedlings Pty Ltd (SCS) was established in 1998 and was the first nursery in Australia to produce strawberry plug plants in commercial quantities and continues to lead the industry today. Commencing in 2005, SCS began growing strawberry plants in a soilless system (what we now refer to as Plug Plants), and over the next 18 years SCS has fine-tuned the system to achieve scalability and consistently high-quality plants. With the closure of one of the largest suppliers of soil based strawberry runners last year, this property offers a rare opportunity to not only takeover an established major plug supplier, but also the potential for further expansion to take advantage of the supply shortfall. The owners have now made the decision to retire from the business but will remain for a period, to ensure a smooth transition for the prospective purchaser.

Berries Australia is fortunate to have the skills of Jesse White to support us in Asia. His local contacts and ability to speak Mandarin were invaluable on this trip to China. The Berries Australia team and senior representatives from the Australian blueberry industry will be at ASIA FRUIT LOGISTICA to further explore our opportunities in key Asian markets James Kellaway Christian Parsons Brett Fifield Mila Bristow Jenny Van de Meeberg Deb Langford
So our whirlwind trip to China is complete and my head is buzzing. Thank you to Jae Chun from Driscoll's for being our VIP guest at the AustCham Shanghai 30th anniversary dinner. Driscoll's are doing a great job lifting Chinese berry consumption with their locally grown and imported product, but there is definitely a window for Australian grown premium berries. Imagine if we could get #blueberry market penetration up to the 54% we have in Australia! Peter McPherson Jesse White Jenny Van de Meeberg Christian Parsons Andrew Bell
