Hort Innovation and Avocados Australia have partnered on a flagship trade development project to create a video that highlights the quality of the fruit for export markets. A range of growers contributed by allowing their farms to be used to showcase avocado production.
The video was presented at Asia Fruit Logistica 2022 and at several events across Malaysia and Singapore, creating traction for Australian Avocados on the international stage.
