Tasmania is a major producer of certified white clover seed production crops.  The climate and environmental conditions in Southern Australia are perfect for growing clover, with Tasmania's irrigation scheme and relative pest and disease-free status favoring the reliable production of pasture seed crops.   There is potential to increase the growing area in Tasmania and southern-Australia to meet an increasing local and export demand for certified white clover seed.  Unfortunately, white clover seed yields in southern-Australia have stagnated over the past 15-years, and growers are reluctant to grow white clover seed production crops due to the current low yields and low profitability compared to other commodities.
