After a major expansion of its portfolio, mangoes produced by Andrew and Nicola Forrest's agribusiness Harvest Road Group are likely to be on Australian dinner tables this Christmas.
Following a step into the mango industry in 2017 with the diversification of Carnarvon's Brickhouse Station, Harvest Road has purchased the neighboring Gascoyne Mango Plantation. The sale will more than double Harvest Road's mango operation at Brickhouse Station, which is not yet in production but cultivating 16 hectares of Kensington Pride and Yess mangoes.
Gascoyne Mango Plantation covers almost 22 hectares of land and supports more than 4,000 mostly mature Honey Gold, Kensington Pride, and R2E2 trees. General manager at Harvest Road, Richard Kohne, said the purchase showed strong confidence in the mango industry and Carnarvon as a productive growing region.
