Services as fruitful as horticulture production
18 Nov 2004
Strawberries, mangoes and avocados are three fruit driving growth in Queensland’s horticulture industry, but native Australian cut flowers and foliage appear to have the biggest export potential. The latest edition of Prospects for Queensland’s Primary Industries, found that horticulture was the state’s second largest primary industry, accounting for 29 per cent of the total value of primary industry product, worth nearly $3 billion. The department classified half of all production as “lifestyle horticulture”, a category defined as a wide range of professional services, including parks and gardens management, horticultural advice, training and education, and research and development.
