As domestic avocado prices continue to fall, growers in South Australia's Riverland are keen to develop trade with Japan. It's a move that could benefit growers around the country.

"But the market is not growing rapidly, so it will be mainly about taking some of that market share.""Which isn't a lot but it's double what we did previously, however they were at really marginal prices," he said.

"WA and the Riverland only got access in very late 2018 so there wasn't a lot sent and then COVID-19 disrupted things," Mr Tyas said."It wasn't big volumes, but the fruit was received really well from the exporters that did participate and they are planning to significantly increase their supply in the coming season."

"For smaller operators, we've got to get to a size and a scale where we can justify doing it," he said.
