Allen Agri Consulting is a specialist agricultural consulting business focused on professional macadamia orchard management throughout the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales.
With nearly 30 years of hands-on experience in farm management, agronomy, and horticultural consulting, we bring practical, proven expertise to every orchard we work with.
We have skin in the game. We face the same seasonal conditions, pest pressures, labour challenges, and market cycles as our clients. That firsthand experience shapes every recommendation we make.
John Allen is a university-qualified agricultural professional, holding a Bachelor of Land Resource (Agricultural Science).
Early in his career, John worked closely with the late John Wilkie, a widely respected pioneer of the Australian macadamia industry known for his depth of agricultural knowledge and practical, no-nonsense approach.
This combination of formal education, industry mentorship, and decades of real-world farming and consulting experience enables John to deliver advice that is scientifically sound, commercially realistic, and practical to implement.
