At the board meeting today we heard that 36 orchards have registered their interest in being part of the new company (subject to further details of financial structure and governance). These 36 orchards collectively estimate that they will supply 100 tonnes of walnuts in the coming season.

This is just the beginning, but it is a very good beginning. The board is encouraged by the level of support and is moving quickly on several fronts to ensure that suppliers are offered an attractive proposal to join the company early next year.
