Please support our citrus farmers

Where are the foodies now? All too busy watching Masterchef?? The citrus industry is facing the most serious crisis in years. Growers are paid 10c per kg whilst supermarkets chains charge about $3 per kg on average. We now have rain and no markets. We have had the devastation of the drought, the floods and now the high dollar. This makes the import on concentrate from overseas cheaper but it ruins our community.

Refuse to drink cheap OJ. It comes from Brazil, it ruins our community and it has carbon miles attached to it. If you live in the riverland go and buy oranges from your local farmers. Help them to get over this mess.
