'Now! In Season' the premium quality and healthy Australian fruits

January 20, 2017

I love cherries!!! I was missing the moment when i went to pluck cherry at fruit farm in Australia, aww~~~~ i wish to go back again!!! I have to plan again and find my travel partner first. 
But now, Malaysians can look forward to more premium quality, healthy and safe Australian produce this year as a new campaign takes off at leading retail outlets. 
The launch of the 'Now! In Season' campaign is a global campaign by the Victorian State Government, Australian Government and Horticulture Innovation Australia. Aimed at promoting various Australian fresh fruits and vegetables at their peak quality and availability. 
Malaysia imported A$5.3million or 871 tonnes of Australian fruits in 2015. From 2011 to 2015, the value and quantity of imported Australian fruits each grew by approximately 30% per annum, this is a clear demonstration of the high demand for top quality Australian produce in a very competitive market. 
The 'Now! In Season' program espouses Australia's quality soil, continual supply of clean water, strict food safety regulations and innovative farm practices. Australia's proximity to Malaysia and a proven track record of quality exports of fresh fruits and vegetables to global markets make it an attractive choice.
