News Australia title delicious. and Harvey Norman have once again joined forces for the 2026 delicious. Harvey Norman Produce Awards, marking 21 years of recognising Australia’s finest primary producers.
The national awards program celebrates the people who grow, harvest and catch the exceptional produce supplied to the nation’s leading chefs, restaurants and hospitality venues.
Krysia Bonkowski, content director of delicious. said: “For more than two decades, the delicious. Harvey Norman Produce Awards has been the only national program of its kind to seek out and spotlight Australia’s finest producers – the people who work tirelessly to provide our chefs, restaurants and markets with some of the best produce in the world. A key aim of the awards is to acknowledge and champion the producers leading the way in the agricultural industry through their dedication to sustainability, transparency and innovation.
“The Awards would not be possible without the dedication and support of our naming rights partner Harvey Norman, and our experienced and passionate state and national judges. The quality and credentials of the produce entered each year just keeps on getting better.”
Harvey Norman executive chairman Gerry Harvey said: “Twenty-one years of the delicious. Produce Awards is a remarkable enduring achievement, but no surprise knowing they are underpinned by the sheer excellence of the people who farm our land and waterways.
“Harvey Norman is incredibly proud to stand alongside delicious. in championing the absolute backbone of our country – our primary producers. The brilliance of these awards is that they don’t just celebrate high-quality food; they shine a spotlight on the sustainable practices and dedication of the people, often generations, who put Australia at the forefront of quality food production. Cooking at home or in restaurants with Australian-grown produce – you can taste the difference.
