What Select Harvests does
Select Harvests Limited is a publicly listed Australian almond producer and processor (ASX: SHV) operating across the full almond value chain from horticulture and orchard management through processing to sales and marketing. The company is one of the world's largest almond growers, with 9,066 hectares of planted orchards across 15 farms in three Australian states (Victoria, South Australia, and New South Wales), feeding its state-of-the-art Carina West processing facility, which was commissioned in 2008 at a cost of AUD 40 million and has hulling and shelling capacity of 55,000 metric tonnes per annum, climate-controlled warehousing, vacuum packaging with nitrogen flushing, and the proprietary ALMADS stock control and traceability system.
The product portfolio spans in-shell almonds, whole kernels, and a value-added range marketed under the Allinga Farms sub-brand, including blanched, roasted, sliced, slivered, diced, meal/flour, and paste formats. In FY25 the company produced a 24,903 MT crop with 5,952 MT sold into value-added channels, generating an average selling price of AUD 10.18/kg against a production cost of AUD 7.82/kg. Select Harvests sells on a quote-based B2B model to a diversified customer base spanning beverage, bakery, confectionery, cereal, snacking, health food, dairy, re-packer, and wholesale segments, with export distribution into China/Asia, India, the Middle East, and the domestic Australian market, supported by AQIS, SQF, HACCP, HALAL, HALAL GSO, Kosher, and Unilever Sustainable Supplier certifications.
The business model is commodity-cycle exposed but supported by vertical integration, geographic diversification of supply, and a multi-jurisdictional certification footprint. FY25 reported AUD 31.8 million in net profit after tax, AUD 82.4 million in EBITDA, and AUD 118.6 million in operating cash flow, with a 15.1 percent net debt to equity ratio and an explicit growth target of 65,000 tons and AUD 700 million in revenue by 2030, which would require more than doubling current crop volume over five years.
