100% OWNED BY GROWERS

SGM is owned by around 100 macadamia growers who form part of our network of suppliers and their crop volume allows us to remain a strong domestic processor, employing local people and investing back into the industry and the community. We are 100% owned by growers so when we prosper, so do our growers. 

OWNERSHIP AND REWARD

We reward our shareholders with competitive prices for NIS, but you don’t have to be a shareholder to supply us.   The most important benefit of being a shareholder in Suncoast Gold is access to the global marketing power of Green and Gold Macadamias, providing confidence with a guaranteed home for your crop every year, no matter the market conditions. 

Suncoast Gold owns a significant stake in Green and Gold Macadamias, the second largest macadamia marketing organisation globally, giving shareholders confidence that we are working at securing new markets for your future crops. 

SUPPORTING THE INDUSTRY

SGM has a long history of being an active and integral part of the macadamia industry including involvement in events, associations and committees.  Our enthusiastic grower services team of qualified and experienced consultants can assist you with technical advice, service and support throughout the year.

We support the Macadamia Conservation Trust in it’s journey to conserve wild macadamia habitat and rare wild macadamia populations.
