Overview

Horticultural Skills Australia's quality vocational programs range from certificate to graduate certificate in production horticulture, wholesale nursery, retail nursery, turf, parks & gardens landscape and applied production horticulture. The Horticultural Skills Australia City Campus is the main campus of Horticultural Skills Australia and is located in the heart of the city of Melbourne.

Australian horticulture is a labour intensive industry, seasonal in nature and characterised by small-scale family farms and increasingly medium to larger operations, many of which grow a range of crops. Australia's horticulture industry has long enjoyed a domestic and international reputation for quality, primarily because of high standards in all stages of the supply chain. The horticulture industry is the third largest agricultural industry in Australia and it contributes significantly to non-metropolitan areas, employing some 55,000 in growing fruit, vegetables and nuts to supply the domestic and export markets. A further 11,000 are employed in fruit and vegetable processing (excluding wine manufacturing). The total area under production in Australia is about 2,500 square kilometres

 

Preliminary ABS statistics for 2002-03 show Australian horticulture had a gross value of production of $5,229 million (excluding wine grapes), ranking third behind the grain and meat industries (ABS 7501.0). The 2001-02 gross value of production is $5,463 million and is divided into the three product categories as follows:
Fruit and nuts (excluding wine grapes): $2,421 million
Vegetables: $2,269 million
Nursery production: $773 million.
