Andrew Forrest's Harvest Road Group will double its mango footprint in northern WA.
abc.net.au/news/andrew-forrest-brickhouse-station-mango-expansion-carnarvon/102059362Mangoes produced by mining billionaire Andrew Forrest's agribusiness Harvest Road Group are likely to be on Australian dinner tables this Christmas after a major expansion of its portfolio.
Business development manager at Harvest Road, Richard Kohne, said the purchase showed strong confidence in the mango industry and Carnarvon as a productive growing region. While Harvest Road waits for its Brickhouse mango orchard to mature, Mr Kohne said the adjacent Gascoyne Mango Plantation, already in production, would continue to supply the domestic market while looking at exports longer term.
Carnarvon shire president and local mango grower Eddie Smith welcomed news of Mr Forrest's investment.
