Riverina

The Riverina region is called the Food Bowl or Fruit Basket of the East. It is located in the south west of New South Wales and produces nearly 90% of the state’s fruit and vegetables and 25% of all Australian fruit and vegetables. It is also a major supplier for beef and wool and it is the supplier of 80% of the wine grape production in New South Wales.
