Rocky Lamattina & Sons - Syngenta Grower of the Year winner 2024

Vegalogue is a podcast from Australian vegetable peak industry body AUSVEG. Each episode we take a look at issues affecting the Australian vegetable, potato and onion sectors, unpacking levy-funded research and meeting some of the incredible people who make up the vegetable industry.

At Hort Connections in Melbourne in early June, 10 of the horticulture industry’s leading lights were recognised with the presentation of the Horticulture Awards for Excellence for 2024.

The winners of these awards have fascinating stories to tell about overcoming challenges to build some of the most successful businesses in the industry, groundbreaking research, or personal stories of lives and careers in the dynamic world of horticulture.

This episode we have a chat with Angelo Lamattina of Victorian carrot grower Rocky Lamattina & Sons, the winner of this year’s Syngenta Grower of the Year award.
