Citrus industry in Western Australia

Production regions

WA citrus production regions extend from the South West at Walpole to Kunurrura in the north. Major regions are within a 250km radius of Perth.

Significant areas are near Dandaragan, Gingin and Harvey. Smaller plantings are in Kununurra, Carnarvon, Bindoon, Perth Hills and the South West.

Easy-peel mandarins, and navel and Valencia oranges are the main types grown in southern regions.

New plantings of seedless Valencia oranges and lemons are also building in volume. Further north in Carnarvon, navel oranges and red flesh grapefruit are the main varieties and red flesh grapefruit and limes are grown in Kununurra.
