About the company
Riverland Almonds (RA) is one of the three major handlers of almonds in Australia. The South Australian company had its beginnings in 1986 in Renmark. New and increased plantings on the southern side of the River Murray led to the establishment of a new factory in 1997 at Loxton. The new state of the art, custom built, stand alone, facility has been modelled on the best facilities in California, where over 70 per cent of the world’s almonds are grown and processed.
