Andrew Forrest expands agrifood operations at WA s Brick House Station
In the past 12 months, billionaire Andrew Forrest has made some significant investments. His latest endeavour is hay, sweet potato, and agave. The focus lies at Brick House Station, located in Western Australia s Gascoyne region, where Harvest Road Group continues to grow its agricultural food operations.
Harvest Road Group general manager of agriculture Kim McDougall said the development of horticulture was key to supporting the agrifood business. Last year, 5,000 agave seedlings were planted across roughly 1 hectare at Brick House Station, with hopes to turn the crop into a marketable product if successful. McDougall said the planting of seedlings was a trial.
