Alterra is known as a responsible developer of agricultural land and water assets based in Western Australia. Duncan has a bachelor of Agribusiness from Curtain University and has been growing avocados for four years. He was attracted to becoming involved with avocados when he had the opportunity to be part of a greenfields avocado project in the Manjimup/Pemberton region and gained insights from developing, growing and managing a 100-hectare avocado operation. He is particularly passionate about “growing avocados and discovering new approaches in orchard production through leading R&D.” He is keen to represent WA avocado growers and to act in the best interests of the Australian avocado industry.
