Why The Floodplains?
The floodplains also boast a highwater table (just 0.5-1.5m below the surface) that smaller macadamia trees utilise to produce larger crops, in turn minimising reliance on irrigation.
Across northern NSW there’s estimated 7,500ha suitable for transformation from broadacre cropping to macadamia production; there is scalable opportunity.
