It’s National Biosecurity Week and we’re taking a moment to reflect on the small but powerful ways we can help protect Australia’s future.

Biosecurity isn’t just the government’s job—it starts with all of us. Whether you're a grower, a traveller, or just shopping online, everyday actions make a big difference:

🌱 Follow the rules at borders
🥾Clean your gear, shoes and luggage for soil, seeds, or insects after travelling
🛒 Choose local over overseas when shopping online
🚜 Respect farm biosecurity signs
📚 Teach the next generation why biosecurity matters

Good biosecurity helps keep our food safe and high-quality, protects farms and native ecosystems, keeps export markets open, and supports healthy communities and a strong economy.

At Tanuki, we also do our part by working only with reputable suppliers, ensuring the products we distribute across Australia support strong biosecurity practices on farms.

What’s one small action you take to support biosecurity in your everyday life? 🌿

🥑 Supporting the crops that support us – avocado edition!

Did you know the average Aussie eats nearly 5kg of avocados each year? We picked up that fun fact at the Avocados Australia Conference earlier this year—and it got us thinking…

After chatting with the team, we realised we might be above average avo lovers! So we’ve shared a few avocado dishes from home and the office this past week—check them out for some tasty inspiration.

At Tanuki, our love for avocados goes beyond the plate. We’re proud to be the Australian supplier of Nordox 750 WG copper fungicide, which helps protect avocado crops from fungal and bacterial threats while also delivering essential micronutrients.

So while we’re enjoying smashed avo on toast, we’re also playing a small but important role in supporting the growers who make it all possible.

💬 How do you like your avocados? For breakfast, lunch or dinner? Let us know in the comments.

We love seeing creativity bloom on the farm—especially when it involves our buckets!

They usually get repurposed for storing tools in the back of a ute or tucked away in a shed. But recently, Deb and Chuck took things to a whole new level by painting them as LEGO heads for a kids’ dress-up. 😲

We were so impressed by their imagination and resourcefulness. Just brilliant!

It's not often our team gathers in person, but on Thursday we did just that. Team members made their way to Tanuki's Toowoomba office for the announcement of this year's annual goals and a team lunch.

It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day, always chasing the next task or deadline. This meeting gave us a chance to pause, reflect, and appreciate what an amazing job our team has done! It felt great to take a moment to celebrate that. 🎉

We're proud of the direction we're heading, and even prouder of the people making it happen. Every contribution matters, and it's clear we're building something special - together.

🍊 Last Thursday, Sheri attended the Citrus Australia Regional Forum at Dareton Research Station, connecting with growers and experts on citrus industry challenges and innovations.

🌱 The event highlighted market access, fruit quality, and tech-driven solutions for sustainable farming.

Our role in the citrus industry is to supply trusted inputs like Nordox 750WG red copper fungicide, and BASF's chelated trace elements, supporting crop nutrition and disease control. We help growers get the best outcome from whatever the season throws at them.

Rory attended the CQ Avocado Forum in Childers yesterday, which focused on disease and pest control 🥑

Dr Liz Dan gave a presentation on two systemic fungicides (Score and Switch) for control of Anthracnose due to known resistance to azoxystrobin in Queensland avocadoes. Liz emphasised the importance of continued applications of copper fungicides as protectants against Anthracnose and that the systemics in no way replace copper applications.

John Agnew of QDAF highlighted the need for increasing the number of copper sprays during wet conditions, especially with 3 or more consecutive days of 1 mm rain or more.

The afternoon field walk at Simpson Farms, led by Agronomy Head Bridgette Ryan, covered future tree spacing, Phytophthora treatment with phosphorous acid, and gypsum application to supply calcium to developing fruit. Attendees also observed a mulching machine for pruned/cut-out branches.

An informative and engaging day overall! 🌱
