Great job Michael!

[AustralianFarmers @OzFarmers]

Michael & his family have installed 6m high netting across most their orchards to cut down wind to reduce blemishes that make the fruit worth less. But here Michael shows us blemishes are only skin deep. Do you judge an orange by its cover?

There’s more to C in citrus. What a refreshing presentation by Dr Flavia Fayet-Moore @drflavs I’m so happy to have heard this first hand. 🏆🏆🏆🍊🍊🍊@CitrusAustralia @Hort_Au

[Nathan Hancock @nathanhancock7]

Thanks Joy and Michell from @ElementalEnzyme for showing us around your trial sites in Fort Pierce. Looking forward to following the progress of this approach to managing HLB.

Here’s Frank explaining the traceability of fruit from the orchard to the shed.

[Citrus_Australia @CitrusAustralia]

Why do so many taxi/Uber drivers drive with a foot on the brake and the accelerator? Who wants to surge all the way to wherever anyway?

[Nathan Hancock @nathanhancock7]

Here’s the issues at the heart of the #lettuce ‘crisis’. We all eat what farmers grow in all weather types, they face huge rises in costs, but even when the retail price goes up there’s no guarantee the grower gets paid more. #thankafarmerforyournextmeal @CitrusAustralia

[Nathan Hancock @nathanhancock7]

Fantastic opportunity, don’t miss out.

[Citrus_Australia @CitrusAustralia]

Join six international citrus breeders at Bundaberg on Thursday, 23 June, from 10am to 3pm, with field tours from noon.

[Nathan Hancock @nathanhancock7]

@MurrayWatt @AlboMP Looking forward to a constructive relationship with you @CitrusAustralia

[Nathan Hancock @nathanhancock7]

@MurrayWatt Thank you for raising the importance of Biosecurity, but don’t forget plant Biosecurity too. @planthealthaust @CitrusAustralia

[Nathan Hancock @nathanhancock7]

Also provides opportunities for gap analysis and focused surveillance in the future.

[Plant Health Aust @planthealthaust]

David Gale from PHA presenting on Connecting the dots using AUSPestCheck. “Opportunities exist for industry and government to work together to collate data for specific pests to support trade and market access” #biosym2022

[Nathan Hancock @nathanhancock7]

This is a great opportunity for interested professionals to get involved. Help train the next generation of fresh produce marketers. The deadline is short, so giddy up and get on with it. @CitrusAustralia

[SHAFFE @ShaffeFruit]

Call for applications: We are looking for lecturers from the fresh produce sector for the launch of Masters program in International Communications, Marketing and Management for Fresh Produce Professionals - Deadline 9th of May 2022 - More info via:https://t.co/EZtEQbU6K1

[Nathan Hancock @nathanhancock7]

Our industry is being as proactive as it can be, but we need to raise the bar on community awareness, that requires an engaging National Biosecurity Plan that speaks to all Australians about our roles in protecting our country, our environment and our industries. #BioSym2022

[Plant Health Aust @planthealthaust]

“16,460 citrus interceptions in 2017 - approx 5.5% of all biosecurity interceptions for that year.” Nathan Hancock, Citrus Australia

[Nathan Hancock @nathanhancock7]

It was great to be involved, let’s take these moments and create a movement.

[Plant Health Aust @planthealthaust]

Nathan Hancock, CEO Citrus Australia and Chair of the Plant Industries Forum Committee talking on how to enhance the biosecurity system and its resilience. #biosym2022

[Nathan Hancock @nathanhancock7]

If it’s about us, don’t do it without us. Speaking up on biosecurity on behalf of industry whilst acknowledging collaboration with community, the environment and government is key to success. #BioSym2022 @planthealthaust @CitrusAustralia

[Nathan Hancock @nathanhancock7]

Interesting talk at #BioSym2022 Using sentinel bee hives to detect plant viruses. This could form part of future early detection of exotic pests in 🇦🇺 🍊 @CitrusAustralia

[Nathan Hancock @nathanhancock7]

Industry is not asking for different access to the same workers. We need a visa for the existing, uncapped workers the ASEAN Nations can provide. We need details on Labor’s Ag Visa, not political point scoring.
