"Our melons are grown at all of our locations," said Fernando Rombola, Managing Director at the company. "We recently acquired 2,500 hectares in the Northern Territory, which has been planted in melons. Things are on track, and we are really happy with the yields we have been achieving for our first season. In total, we have 3000 hectares of production and a year-round supply."

Melon varieties include: Seedless, personal seedless, rockmelon, honeydew, and candy melon.
"The weather has been colder than normal across our winter growing season, with the wet season coming earlier than expected, with a large downpour in September. The colder-than-usual winter made it challenging for some of our crops as we really rely on consistent warm weather, but production for spring has now returned to normal as the weather has turned more favourable."
