The largest grower and packer of apples in NSW, Batlow Fruit Company, is now able to package more apples than ever at its Snowy Valleys location. A project to modernise the company’s Batlow packhouse received more than $2.7 million in joint funding under the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund, with an additional $274,000 from Batlow Fruit Company.
The upgrade has been officially opened by the NSW Minister for Regional NSW, Tara Moriarty, while in Batlow. Moriarty said assisting companies like this is an important part of the government’s support for regional and rural NSW.
This certainty will help it maintain its existing workforce and remain the largest employer for the Batlow region. Batlow Fruit Company has been growing and packaging apples out of Batlow for more than 100 years and these upgrades ensure they can continue to do so for many years to come, said Moriarty.
