Almonds, unshelled, South Australia {AU}| | AusLCI, U

Unit process Australia v00.00.000

Included processes:Production and supply of unshelled almonds up to the farm gate. Remark: This inventory has been developed as part of the AusAgLCI initiative funded by a partnership of Australian Research and Development Corporations (RIRDC, CRDC, GRDC, SRDC, HAL, MLA, DA, FWPA) and Research Agencies (CSIRO, USQ and Q DAFF), with technical support from Life Cycle Strategies. The emission factors and other minor updates have been applied in 2025 as part of a joint project of AgriFutures Australia and Lifecycles. LCAgMetrics was one of a suite of projects funded by the Federal Government's Sustainability Reporting Uplift Grant Round, as part of the National Agriculture Traceability Grants Program. More detail on inventory development can be found in the 'AusAgLCI Methodology for developing Life Cycle Inventory' documents located at www.auslci.alcas.asn.au. This is an unallocated inventory for unshelled almonds. Geography: Refers to an average production in Australia.
