Welcome to
Feijoa Australia
The beginning of an exciting new Horticultural Industry in
Australia
Feijoa Fruit (pronounced Fee –
Joe – Ah) is growing rapidly in demand throughout the world
for its delicious, healthy qualities and versatility. It has
been inevitable that the Industry would spread to Australia,
which has ideal growing conditions in many parts of the country.
The Centre of the Feijoa Industry in Australia is at Lower
Wonga, near Gympie in S E Queensland, where the Casey Family
have established the first commercial Feijoa Plantation, with
the first crop having been harvested for 2005 and the current
crop ready for harvest March-June 2006.
Increasing worldwide demand for Feijoa Fruit, Juice, Feijoa
Wine and many other Feijoa-based products will ensure ready
export markets for considerable years. However, we believe
that continual growth in the Feijoa popularity in Australia
will take up much of the produce initially. On-Farm Processing
will be a pivotal part of the Lower Wonga Plantation, providing
an assured outlet for Grower's fruit, along with attractive
returns.
We are very keen to attract many additional growers into
the industry in constructive and informed manner.
Our aim is to establish a coordinated and mutually cooperative
Industry that does not fall into the traditional traps that
have fragmented many Industries, such as the Olive Industry.
Feijoas will generally grow just about anywhere that Olives
will grow and they provide a viable return much sooner.
