The Marquis Group

The Marquis Group is the world’s largest macadamia grower, processor and marketer providing superior quality macadamias to food manufacturing, wholesale and retail customers spanning across five continents. The Marquis Group is 100% grower-owned, processing 22,000 tonnes per annum through Marquis Macadamias in Australia and 18,000 tonnes per annum through Marquis Macadamias Africa. The production from these facilities is sold through Marquis Marketing, a jointly-owned company which also sells kernel from Kenya and other processors around the world.

With origin diversity from pristine soils in Australia, South Africa and Kenya, Marquis Marketing sells products from 16% of worldwide nut-in-shell (NIS) production and is responsible for over 20% of the world’s kernel sales, including 43% of Australia’s crop.

Marquis Macadamias Australia
