Export growth boom in grapes and cider
According to an IBISWorld report, grape growing and cider production have placed fifth and six respectively in a list of the top 20 industries for export growth in Australia. The report, which looked at the five-year period from 2010-11 to 2015-16, suggested that grape growers and cider producers in Australia have enjoyed plenty of growth thanks to overseas markets in the last half-decade, with grape growers enjoying a 26.6 per cent increase in exports, and cider producers a nominally smaller 25.8 per cent increase.
