A degree of geographic separation which provides advantages across climate diversity, picking requirements, end-market flexibility and access to varying water systems.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE | The Portfolio provides an opportunity to acquire a group of turn-key assets with the option of retaining an experienced management and operational team. The portfolio represents a large-scale aggregation offering efficiencies unlocked by holding considerable scale, including management & labour efficiencies, and a degree of bargaining power with end-markets.
ATTRACTIVE AGE PROFILE | The Portfolio supports an established and largely mature age profile with a proven production history. Extensive development and rework has taken place to future-proof the Portfolio, including ~40% of trees planted since 2018 (<8 years) providing an attractive plant maturity for incoming investors in the short to medium term.
BALANCED VARIETAL MIX | Under the guidance of Southern Cross Farms, a respected horticultural manager, Prime Value has implemented a balanced varietal mix across the Portfolio, focusing on alignment with consumer preferences.

STRONG INDUSTRY FUNDAMENTALS | Demand for Australian citrus products underwritten by reduced global supply due primarily citrus greening and extreme weather events across the world’s major production regions (US, Brazil & Spain). Global demand is currently supported by strong seasonality domestically in Australia, helping to capitalise on potential export channels this season
