Quality fruit management is a key component in the sustainable
management of orchards. Maintaining an orchard and the crop to
the highest quality standard not only maximises profitability,
but also sets the orchard up for longevity and viability for
the future.
We pride ourselves on the quality of fruit that goes into our
much-loved brand and it’s important that quality systems are
incorporated into the orchard to provide the best quality
fruit for our consumers.
Our premium products are made from high quality fruit sourced
from growers who take pride and are passionate about what they
do. Environmental Management encompasses a range of important
farm management areas as we strive to ensure that our juice is
not only high quality nutritionally but produced from orchards
using sustainable practices.
Fully understanding the financial position of the business is
one of the keys to business success. While we do not provide
personal financial advice, what we have produced for this
assessment tool are key performance indicator measurements and
financial tools to assist our grower partners to identify
management strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to
the business.
This section provides information on everything from
succession planning to business planning.
Lion Dairy & Drinks partners with Landcare Australia to offer
our grower partners Lion Orchard Pride Landcare Australia
Grants, that support grower productivity and profitability
while improving orchard sustainability. The Program provides
our grower partners with the tools and resources to address
some of the ongoing environmental challenges in the industry.
We're proud of the partnerships we have with over 80 orange
growers, many of whom have been supplying us oranges for
generations, and are committed to working collaboratively to
ensure we create the most delicious juices possible.
There is a strong link between a sustainable business and the
sheer fact of being happy and healthy, not only growers and
their family, but also their orchard team. Being involved in
the local community and stepping away from the orchard to be
involved in activities that they enjoy is an important aspect
to maintain a sense of wellbeing. It is also extremely
important to take the time to incorporate effective labour
management and orchard safety techniques.
We offer a comprehensive and confidential
Lion Orchard Pride Grower Personal Support Program
designed to assist our grower partners in meeting the
challenges and demands of work and personal life. The Grower
Support Program is a professional counselling service that
offers confidential support to our growers and their families
for a variety of work-related and personal problems from
stress to mental health and relationship issues.
