Citrus Fruit, Nut and Other Fruit Growing in Australia Industry Data and Analysis
Turbulent weather events over the past five years have hit industry farmers hard. The 2022 floods along the eastern seaboard were particularly disruptive, devastating many farmers’ crops. Recovery efforts are ongoing, with yields of citrus fruit and other fruits having improved over the two years through 2025-26. Favourable climatic conditions have enhanced farm confidence and production volumes in Australia's northernmost orchards, which primarily grow nuts, citrus fruits and mangoes. However, declining demand from major downstream markets has led to a slump in revenue. Cost-of-living pressures and the surging price of fresh fruit have led to a contraction in fruit consumption as households have struggled with falling incomes over the past five years. As a knock-on effect of reduced consumer interest, demand from supermarkets and other retailers has diminished. As a result, industry revenue is expected to contract at an annualised 5.5% over the past five years to $4.5 billion in 2025-26. This includes an anticipated decline of 4.5% in 2025-26.
