This comprehensive handbook analyses all available data on horticultural production, international trade, processing volumes, and fresh market distribution in order to produce statistics on 75 horticultural categories over the year ending 30 June 2022.

This Handbook adopts a modeling approach that centres on determining the fresh market value and volume for each category, which reconciles production with local and international distribution channel throughputs.

The handbook determines fresh market supply volume as follows:

• Farm gate production quantities have been determined through Hort Innovation-funded data projects, horticultural government levy data where available, and refined through consultation with informed industry bodies. The corresponding value of production is calculated from wholesale pricing information before removing known logistical, marketing, and wholesale costs to reflect product value at the farm gate.
• Export and import trade volume and value is based on Australian Customs data as reported in IHS Global Trade Atlas data.
• Processing data has been obtained through consultation with industry processors.
