What we grow / Vegetables / Brussels sprouts
Brussels sprouts grow particularly well in Tasmania due to the cool conditions. Good plant health is supported with long summer daylight hours and good irrigation supply.
Tasmania grows about 14% of the national production and makes a 1% contribution to national exports. The national farm gate value of production is approximately $42 million.
The main growing region is the Central North West of Tasmania which is close in proximity to the vegetable processing facility and interstate markets.
