Located just 200 kilometres from the heart of Melbourne's CBD is one of Australia's leading pomegranate orchards, located in Victoria's Goulburn Valley. The property spans 127.8* hectares (approximately 316 acres) and is the leading player in Australia's emerging pomegranate industry.
Demand for pomegranates in Australia currently exceeds supply, and the business has an established customer-base domestically, with ongoing supply contracts via SPC. Australian Pomegranate Growers (APG) Pty Ltd supplies high-quality fruit to major supermarket chains, has a strong existing agreement with a major global manufacturer in a nearby town, and holds enduring supply contracts that will fortify its future ownership.
Planted in 2008, the 110* hectare orchard has shown promising results with multiple high-yielding varieties. It contains nearly 75,000 trees, producing over 1 million kilograms (1,100 tonnes) of fruit annually. Modern irrigation infrastructure and a skilled team contribute to its productivity.
The Goulburn Valley is a reliable region for fruit production, thanks to consistent irrigation from the Goulburn River. The area is also a key economic and agritourism hub.
