Way, way back at the start of my career, I was given a great opportunity at the company Yandilla Park in the Riverland region of Australia. They actively employed new graduates and trained them on the job through working with more expereienced technical staff. Building skills for the whole industry was their legacy, and I have tried to do similar whenever I have had the opprtunity. It is great to have a program here in Portugal that helps finance this, and Francisco is the beneficiary of this support.

Macadamias are an Australian native nut, and are highly suited to efficient large scale production. They require low inputs and can withstand some of the challenges of the tough Australian climate.

Boombera Park will be one of Australia's largest orchards once completed. Planting commenced in late 2019 and will continue through to the end of 2021.
