A large horticultural development has been incorporated at "Jemalong" with the establishment of 216 hectares of common oranges. The varieties planted are primarily aimed at the fresh juice market. The first of 171,000 trees were planted in October 2005 and the last tree will be planted in October 2012.
The orchard will reach full production in 2020, producing an estimated 12,900 tonnes of fruit with an anticipated yield of 6 million litres of premium fresh orange juice.
The development incorporates the latest in water and fertiliser technologies by using an open hydroponic system of irrigation with ‘proportional fertigation’. This combined with high density plantings and mechanical picking provides an optimum balance of scale and yield at a competitive cost. |
