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.
