Bronze sponsor Australian Native Products pioneered the commercial farming of Australian native botanicals in 1998 with a small plantation in The Channon, a region that sits on the edge of NSW’s best preserved rainforest environments, with rolling hills and picturesque valleys leading towards Byron Bay’s iconic beach.
Now it is the largest grower and exporter of lemon myrtle in the world, and a major supplier to the food & beverage, tea, cosmetics, nutraceutical, and health food industries worldwide. The company prides itself on being clean and green by investing in sustainable farming and manufacturing practices at The Channon and its Certified Organic plantation in Mareeba, Queensland.
Using unique and innovative growing, harvesting and production techniques, Australian Native Products is able to produce high quality, fresh, fragrant, and flavoursome lemon myrtle, which adds a clean and crisp citrus-like flavour to any food or beverage.
