Are you aware of the power that your purchase decisions have? What we decided to purchase may seem like a small decision, but there a lot of decisions attached to it. For example: are you buying local Australian products or internationally imported? Are you choosing the best quality and most flavourful option?
Over the last few years, there has been an increase in the amount of international fruit and tomatoes imported into Australia. This is due to a few causes, such as; the shortages of local products during the initial COVID lockdowns, as well as lower costs of international options due to lower wage costs in different countries.
But this decision doesn’t just come down to a matter of cost to weigh up, there is a lot more to it.
Firstly, quality of product. Australian fruit such as the fruit SPC use in their canned products is often far more flavourful and with a superior texture to imported fruit. Check out this video from Australian MP, where he and his colleagues for a taste comparison of SPC vs a competitors’ international fruit.

As you can see, choosing Australian is a clear winner! Why not do the taste comparison for yourself? Be sure to compare flavour, texture and colour. You may be surprised at the difference that Australian grown, made and owned products provide.
Secondly, we all know the importance of supporting our local Australian growers. The grower of the Goulburn Valley region in Victoria have been providing their home-grown fruit and tomatoes to SPC for over 100 years. If we do our part to continue supporting these growers with our purchase decisions, then we can do our part to ensure the future growers of this region will continue to supply their crop for the next 100 years. As a nation we should be proud of what grows in this beautiful land of ours, so why not hero it on your plate too?
In life, it is all about the choices we make, and sometimes even the choices that seem the simplest have a big impact. SPC they believe we all Australians have a choice about the products they buy. And they encourage all Australians to choose Australian made products and support Australian growers.
