Fire at Ulverstone

BRA experienced a minor fire in a dust collection unit on our manufacturing site on Thursday, January 5.
Good engineering design, and prompt and effective action by BRA employees, confined the fire to the dust collection unit, which is isolated from the main processing facilities on site.
The Ulverstone and Devonport Fire Brigades were called to help extinguish the fire. Damage to plant and equipment was minor and easily repairable. Disruption to processing is also minimal.
BRA would like to acknowledge the prompt and professional response of staff and both Ulverstone and Devonport Fire Brigades.


BRA has been chosen as one of three National Finalists for the 2011 Biosecurity Farmer of the Year Award.

The Australian Pyrethrum Industry

Botanical Resources Australia Pty Ltd (BRA) is the Australian grower of over 60 % of the world’s pyrethrum, the botanical insecticide, and runs the most high-tech pyrethrum industry in the world. Whilst the majority of the production is sourced from the fertile soils of Australia’s island state, Tasmania, from 2011, a portion of the production will be sourced from Ballarat in Victoria. Victoria is the southernmost state on the mainland of Australia. The move to having a portion of our production in Victoria will provide the opportunity for rapid expansion of production in the future, if required, and will also diversify our seasonal production risk.  BRA contracts growers to cultivate in excess of 10,000 tonnes of pyrethrum flowers a year. The product is extracted and refined in BRA’s state-of-the-art plants and formulated to exacting conditions to be used in pyrethrum-based insecticide products for the world market.
