Premium Content Subscriber only Bundaberg has been going nuts for macadamias in recent history and the Australian Macadamia Society has high hopes the region's reign in the local industry will continue to prosper in 2021. AMS CEO Jolyon Burnett said despite a slight decline in local production last year, they were forecasting an increase in crops both locally and nationally. In 2019 Bundaberg produced 43 per cent of the national crop and last year produced 41 per cent of the nation's crop. Mr Burnett said the slight decline showed 2020 was a "difficult" year because of how dry it was; however, he's hoping both the local and national crop to increase this year.
