Who is Nut Producers Australia?
Nut Producers Australia (NPA) is an almond and pistachio processing and marketing business with a charter to maximise returns to growers and has an annual turnover more than $100 million. The business is a collective of three companies: NPA, the Marketing and Administration company based in Adelaide, Riverland Almonds in Loxton and Australian Pioneer Pistachio Company, based in Robinvale, Vic. As a separate and complementary channel, NPA also carries on the business of product trading to add to the growth of the business.
Riverland Almonds (RA), part of the Nut Producers Australia (NPA) collective, is a cornerstone of Australia's almond industry. With roots in Renmark since 1986 and a state-of-the-art facility in Loxton inspired by California's best, we're proud to be one of the top three almond handlers in the country.
Together with our sister companies—Australian Pioneer Pistachio Company (APPC) and Riverland Almonds Hulling (RAH)—we form a dynamic, grower-focused business committed to excellence in nut processing, marketing, and innovation.
