Horticulture's Cultivation-to-Consumer Newspaper

The fresh produce industry’s

‘paddock to plate’ newspaper

National Marketplace News is the only newspaper dedicated to the fresh produce industry. It is also the oldest publication having captured in print and pictures industry news and events since 1983.

Underpinning the newspaper’s success is a simple philosophy; ‘to grow the newspaper we must grow the industry’. Our commitment to grow the industry is a team effort; editorial advertising and production. Editorially, it means reporting the latest news and happenings in the industry; a totally relevant publication that is ‘a must read’ for anyone in the business of fresh produce. Every issue has literally dozens of news articles that serve to help readers in their business decision making; what to grow, what not to grow, what to buy, what not to buy, what’s affecting crops overseas and domestically, changes to quarantine rules, upcoming promotions, new disease control measures, new varieties, new technologies.

With the audience captured, the stage is set for businesses to showcase themselves. This is where the advertising and production teams add their touch, by assisting businesses to present their products and services in the best possible way.

National Marketplace News is a mirror of the fresh produce industry. As the fresh produce industry continues to evolve, so too does the newspaper. One example of this is the emergence of supermarkets and retailers as the major sellers of fresh produce. Fresh produce continues to be a vibrant and healthy Australian industry, showing strong growth particularly in the area of export. It is an exciting industry that changes daily and provides abundant opportunities and challenges for those who choose to take a look. National Marketplace News is the paddock to plate newspaper for the fresh produce industry.
