Completed project
Australian avocado benchmarking program development rounds II and III (AV13003)
Publication date: September 17, 2017
Delivery Partner: Pinnacle Agribusiness
This project, which ended in 2017, was a continuation of earlier industry benchmarking work. Its goal was to further the development of an industry database and benchmarking process to enable growers to identify and strive for Australian best practice in production, packing and marketing of avocados.
It involved the collection of data from 82 individual grower businesses over four consecutive financial years, analysis of this data, the provision of confidential individual reports to participating growers, and the distribution of aggregated high-level project findings to the industry at large.
Over the four years the project was active…
The project outputs enabled comparisons between growers based on a combination of location, business size (turnover, volume or tree numbers) and principal varietal type over multiple years – putting growers in a position to identify those areas that impact greatest on their productive and financial performance.
This project was a strategic levy investment in the Hort Innovation Avocado Fund
