Farm Processing and Food Production in the Riverina

Citrus and apples are juiced in huge tonnages at one of Leeton’s juicing factories. Juice produced here finds its main markets within one or two days in Sydney.

Agriculture in the Riverina extends well beyond the farm gate. The region also hosts a wide range of food processing industries that transform raw agricultural products into foods consumed across Australia.

From Fruit to Juice

Large juicing facilities in the Leeton region process citrus and apples in substantial volumes.

Juice produced at these plants is distributed quickly to major population centres, including Sydney, often reaching markets within one or two days of processing.

Grain Processing and Milling

Grains produced in the region are processed through rice mills and other facilities that prepare crops for domestic and international markets.

These operations play an essential role in connecting farmers to the broader food supply chain.

Connecting Consumers with Farming

Agricultural Tours Riverina occasionally arranges visits for consumers interested in understanding how everyday foods are produced.

In one example, visitors who had eaten breakfast oats for decades visited an organic oat farm near Leeton to learn how oats are grown and processed.

Experiences like these help bridge the gap between consumers and the farms that produce their food.

Agricultural Tours Riverina can arrange visits not only to farms but also to food processing facilities across the Riverina. If your group would like to better understand how agricultural products move from farm to market, contact us to discuss a customised tour program.
