Mandarin in Australia
Australia produced 227,716 t of mandarins worth A$435.3 million in the year to June 2024 and exported 95,771 t worth A$234.4 million – about 42 % of the crop by volume (Hort Innovation). Queensland supplied 61.9 % of export volume, led by Gayndah and Mundubbera in the Central Burnett, followed by Victoria and SA.
Imperial, Afourer and Murcott dominate. Export to protocol markets means registered blocks, packhouse audits, treatments and inspection records per consignment.
