Show Notes
Australias blueberry industry booms, with production surging from 2,500 tonnes in 2004 to 27,500 tonnes in 2021, valued at over $500 million. High demand fuels growth, but locals push for stricter rules on intensive farms due to concerns about chemical spray drift, traffic, and wastewater. Regulators step up inspections, finding minor issues and non-compliance. The industry aims to balance growth with neighbor concerns.
