16.01.2022 Almond Pollination 2019 - It’s not just about Honey @CollinsHoney we also do a wide range of Pollination, with almonds & Seed Canola Bee-ing our ma...in. - In 201617, almond production was valued at $513 million (LVP), with exports valued at $461 million. While the domestic market for almonds continues to grow strongly, this is dwarfed by the export market, with three tonnes of almonds being shipped overseas for every tonne consumed in Australia. Historically, India has been the largest export market, but sales to China are increasing, making it the major destination for Australian almonds. The industry has been expanding rapidly since 2016 with an additional 14,000 hectares being planted, bringing the total industry orchard area to 45,000 hectares. The orchards are concentrated along the Murray Valley in Victoria (56%), SA (22%), and NSW (20%), with an orchard in WA (2%). The 2018 production was 80,000 tonnes however, when current plantings reach full maturity, the industry’s productive capacity will exceed 140,000 tonnes. Nonpareil continues to be the most popular variety with several pollinator varieties such as Carmel, Price and Monterey planted to overlap the flowering period of Nonpareil to achieve good nut set. The Australian almond industry depends on honey bees for pollination, with approximately 180,000 hives required during the pollination season. The almond blossoms provide one of the first natural sources of food for bees each spring. Want to learn more? Click the link https://beeaware.org.au/pollina/pollinator-reliant-crops// See more
