Buddah is situated 20 kilometres from Narromine in the heart of the rich Macquarie Valley, which is 37kms from Dubbo in the central west of New South Wales. The property “Buddah” is actually three properties operating together, “Buddah” (3555 Ha), “Riverpoint” (998 Ha) and “Kansas Plains” (921 Ha). The three properties are operated under the company name Buddah Pty Ltd and currently produce crops such as cotton, wheat, canola, oats, chickpeas, sorghum and 87 Ha of citrus.

Currently there are approximately 550 acres (220 hectares) of citrus production in this area ­ principally oranges including the varieties Washington Navels, Late Lane Navels, Navelinas, Leng Navels, Valencia, Seedless Valencia, Grapefruit and Mandarins.

Growers in the  Macquarie Valley  region  including  Buddah P/L have recognised the potential of this area to produce a premium product that is accessible to the Asian/Pacific fresh markets and have   commenced  major  expansions of  the  citrus  orchard production area.

Overall production from the Narromine area is expected   to   be   8,000   to  10,000  tonnes   annually by  the  year  2010  if   the infrastructure  to   support development  is  in  place.  Obviously if markets can be secured there is  substantial  potential  to  develop further, particularly  with  China.

We wish to expand to include the export markets as a staple, to do this we are focusing our energies on  the requirements of varieties, time and quality assurance required by the market is China. We wish to develop a long-term stable relationship with key  people in the Chinese citrus markets.
