The gross value of horticulture production is projected to
increase to $10.9bn in 2018-19, underpinned by favourable
domestic demand and export opportunities.
The challenge for Australia tree nut production is
maintaining international competitiveness. Increased global
supply is expected to result in falling prices for Australian
trees nuts, and the cost of water for irrigation is expected
to raise prices.
The gross value of Australian vegetable production is
projected to increase mostly due to increases in the
quantity of carrots, capsicums and tomatoes produced in
Queensland and a favourable spring harvest along the east
coast.
Australian vegetable exports are expected to grow as a
result of increased access to Asian markets, greater
demand from Gulf countries and an expected favourable
Australian dollar.
