Australian apple growers, industry representatives and government stakeholders gathered in Beijing this week to celebrate a significant milestone for the industry following mainland Australian apples gaining market access to China in 2025.

From agronomy to data and business leadership, Australian horticulture offers more career opportunities than many people realise.

Australia's horticulture industry aims to double the value of exports to $7 billion by 2031.

This investment provided the Australian nursery industry with reliable information on production, employment, business performance, market channels and industry trends. 

Independent reviews help make sure investments are delivering value for growers and industry.

Australian horticulture has reinforced its long-term commitment to China, with Horticulture Innovation Australia and the China Chamber of Commerce of Foodstuffs and Native Produce signing a Memorandum of Understanding to strengthen industry collaboration, knowledge exchange and supply chain connections between the two countries.
