Strength in numbers.
Growing a new Australian farming opportunity.
The establishment of a vertically integrated, collaborative network will encourage the sharing of skills and knowledge and allow for quality ‘benchmarking’ to further enhance the productivity of tea farming.
Early studies quickly identified a need for Researchers, Farmers, Processors and Marketeers to work together and answer a scarcity of critical information, exchange ideas, conduct trials and generally openly collaborate towards a mutually beneficial end for all parties.
The founders of AUSTEA COOP have formed such an entity and welcome you to join us on this journey.

The Australian Tea
Growers Co-operative.
Growing a new Australian farming opportunity.
THE VISION
Building a new industry opportunity to grow process package and export Australian grown tea by way of member participation in the decision making and potential returns beyond the farm gate profit.
The prime objectives of this group (AGTPL, Kunitaro and Paradise Plants), was to explore the interest and opportunity in developing, initially at least, a NSW industry with this new crop.

PROCESSING OPTIONS
At the moment, there is only ONE tea processing facility on the New South Wales Central Coast. This facility is located at Mangrove Mountain and is owned and operated by Kunitaro Australia Pty Ltd. The facility specialises in making high quality, organic, Japanese-style green tea. Growers wishing to produce this high quality Japanese-style Green Tea under guidance from the Kunitaro Company, are encouraged to do so. The Co-op can assist with this interaction.

EXPERT PANEL
The Co-op’s founding drivers have a diverse set of skills. This gives Members access to significant in-house expertise.
In addition, the Co-op has close ties with many related entities including the Department of Agriculture, interstate tea-growers, international growers and suppliers of processing equipment and materials, RDA Central Coast and State & Federal Government contacts.
