Australian production will continue to come to the fore in 2019-20, with an expected harvest of 95 000 t (+ 9 % on 2018-19). An expanding cultivation area is behind this dynamic, which is not set to slack off over the coming years. The number of trees planted has doubled in the past six years, reaching 6 million; production should hit the 115 000-t mark in 2025. The bulk of the harvest will still be aimed at the local market, still growing but where annual consumption had already reached 3.5 kg/capita in 2017-18. So the exports sector will need to step up from the minor leagues (1 500 to 2 500 t in recent seasons, primarily aimed at Malaysia and Singapore).
