A generous producer from Queensland, Australia gave over 200 thousand. Brian Burton donated fruit for the first time in 2018, when he did not agree with the retailer about the conditions of sale.
Brian Burton had never planned to become a mango farmer, but when he bought cottages on Lake Barra between Jimpy and Tin-Kan Bay on the Coulsland Coast in Queensland, Kensington's 2,300 mangrove trees were in a picturesque property.
He was thinking about selling fruit to a large supermarket, but he did not like the terms of the contracts, and he donated his first crop to charity in 2018.
Direct speech: “I plan to do this again every year. Small charities can come to my gardens and collect mangoes for free, ”said Burton.
Last year, the crop was partially destroyed by storms, but this year there is a record number of fruits that must be harvested within two weeks.
Dozens of volunteers from Rainbow Beach Drought Runners help a generous farmer realize his plan. Fruits are expected to be transferred to arid villages such as Chinchilla, Miles, Roma, Mitchell and Biloela.
