What we grow / Vegetables / Cauliflowers

Cauliflowers grow well in Tasmania’s cool climatic conditions and rich soils. They are firm and have creamy white colour.

The national production of cauliflowers is worth $74 million annually. Tasmania contributes 8% of the volume and is the fourth largest producer. 8% of national volume goes into processing and 1% into exports, leaving 91% for the domestic fresh market.

Cauliflowers are grown in the North West, Meander Valley and Coal Valley where growing conditions tend to be mild and there is good access to irrigation.

Other types include green, purple and baby cauliflower.
