Macadamias are native to Australia and the bulk of our modern industry is located in the same lush, sub-tropical regions where macadamias have grown in the wild for over 60 million years. Our growers have an intrinsic connection to the landscape and take great care to protect it by continually improving their practices. Our industry invests millions of dollars each year in research to ensure that our practices are the most innovative in the world. 

Our growers are leaders in using ecologically sensitive techniques that preserve and protect the natural environment. The Australian macadamia industry has achieved excellent compliance in the Federal Government’s National Residue Survey every year since the program began in 1996, reflecting the industry’s strong commitment to good agricultural practices. These results are a testament to the dedication of Australia’s macadamia growers and processors and highlight the benefits of the industry’s determination to work with nature as much as possible.
