What was it all about?
From 2020 to 2022, this project collected industry statistics and made them readily available to almond growers and other industry stakeholders. This information allowed almond businesses and the broader industry to make timely and effective decisions in planning and resource prioritisation.
Specific activities of the project included:
- Production of the annual statistics report Almond Insights which included the results of the project’s annual planting surveys
- Annual crop forecasts
- Monthly export position reports
- Ongoing collection of domestic and international almond statistics.
This investment played an important role in verifying the growing and marketing credentials of the Australian almond industry. The two key publications, the Annual Almond Industry Statistics Report and the Monthly Sales Position Report, contain data and statistics that encompass the production, export and domestic sales of Australian almonds. Along with global comparisons, the services delivered in this project form a critical benchmarking role that assists in guiding investment decisions at all levels.
During the course of the project, the content of the monthly Position Reports was enhanced to include domestic sales figures for the first time and provide a whole-of-industry sales update, similar to that published by the Almond Board of California. This has provided meaningful comparisons and helped stakeholders identify potential trends as well as areas of opportunity and threat.
