CUTRI FRUIT
in Woorinen, near Swan Hill, is a business built on
integrity, honesty and long-lasting customer
relationships. Our dedicated team strives to ensure
the production of the highest quality stone fruit
(nectarines, peaches, apricots and plums) utilising
sophisticated and integrated management and business
systems, and employing a cultural work ethic that
achieves excellence.
Currently managed by Gaethan Cutri and his father
Dom, the farm utilises their diverse business and
farming skills to ensure best farming practice,
focusing on industry-leading systems and processes
to produce the highest quality stone fruit.
In recent months, Dom has begun to loosen the reigns
of the business as he hands over the farm to Gaethan.
This has resulted in a time of mass transition and
change within Cutri Fruit, but one that will still
carry on and reflect tried and tested experience
with the fresh thinking on a younger generation.
Gaethan is showing himself to be a true
leader of the industry and an enthusiastic
entrepreneur, as he continues to win highly coveted
awards such as the DPI Young Farmer of the Year and
the FBA Victoria Jason Lea Award. He has also been
invited to attend numerous rural leadership and
entrepreneurial courses in the years since returning
to the farm (in 2004 with his wife Nicole) following
a ten year absence, when he left to study and then
work in law. Gaethan’s greatest honour to date has
been his invitation to sit on the Victorian
Government’s Future Farming Advisory Panel, a
panel that will be working closely with the current
Government to ensure agricultural industries
continue to be involved in the key areas of its
farming strategy.
Dom has had a strong presence in public office and
as a spokesman of the Australian stone fruit
industry for over thirty years. He was the inaugural
president of the stone fruit industry body, “The
Australian Stone Fruit Growers Association”,
currently known as “Summerfruits Australia Limited”,
was the inaugural president of the Victorian stone
fruit industry association, the “Victorian Summer
Fruit Council”
