Marketing

The industry has invested in marketing and promotion programs to build consumer demand for many years.

All commercial Australian avocado growers contribute funds towards marketing and promotion of Australian avocados through the national statutory levy.

The levy funds are invested in activities addressing the industry’s strategic priorities and are managed by Horticulture Innovation Australia Limited (Hort Innovation).

Information about the avocado levy-funded marketing program can be accessed via the Hort Innovation website. You can also read our marketing updates blog as well:
