Corporate Overview
Pacific Plantations is a key player on both the domestic and
international stage. It has been involved in the macadamia
nut industry since the mid-1970s and is now one of the worlds
biggest processors. Pacific Plantations is Australias largest
privately-owned macadamia plantation and processing plant.
Located in the heart of the north-eastern New South Wales' fertile volcanic strip,
Pacific Plantations produces a substantial proportion of Australia's macadamia crop
from its plantations ranging as far north as South East Queensland. Reliable rainfall is
an important factor in growing healthy macadamia trees which has been a key factor in plantation selection.
Company History
Even before the MacRae's original plantation produced its first crop,
their nursery was producing seedlings for other growers who found their
enthusiasm infectious. Today, their processing plant handles the harvests
not only of their own farms, but of many other growers.
Pacific Plantations prides itself on the scope of its
operations - propagating its own seedlings, managing the
plantations, and harvesting and processing the crop through
to a packaged product. Total control over all stages
ensures an unmatched level of quality and consistency.
The Pacific Plantations nursery produces more than 30,000
grafted trees each year of superior cultivators which produce a
high quality kernel.
