Tane Howe, Agrinova Australia
Farming has never been easy, but these days the weather can really test your patience—and your bottom line.
Hail, heavy rain, scorching sun, and strong winds can undo a season’s work in minutes.
That’s why more Australian growers are turning to protective cropping systems, not just to save their fruit, but to improve the way their orchards grow year after year.
Who we are
Agrinova started in Italy and now works with growers in more than 50 countries.
In 2025, we teamed up with MWT Agri Pty Ltd to bring our experience to Australian orchards.
We design and manufacture everything ourselves – hail nets, rain covers, trellising, and all the fittings – so we know our systems work and last.
More than just protection
Yes, our systems stop hail damage and keep rain off your fruit, but they do a lot more than that.
By covering your orchard, you create a microclimate – a calmer, more consistent environment where trees can thrive.
Less wind stress, less evaporation, and better temperature control all mean your trees use water more efficiently.
For many growers, that’s been a real game changer.
Better yields, season after season
The benefits don’t stop at harvest.
Because our netting and covers can be opened during the shorter, cooler winter months, your trees get the sunlight and airflow they need to stay healthy and recover faster.
That means stronger growth in spring, better fruit set, and higher yields over the long term.
For new or established orchards
If you’re starting from scratch, we can combine trellising and protection in one structure – saving you money and installation time.
If your orchard is already established, we can design and retrofit a system which works with your existing layout.
We can even just supply components or fabrics to upgrade what you already have.
Tailored to your crop and conditions
No two orchards are the same, so we customise every structure – right down to the fabric choice – to suit your crop, site, and climate.
Everything is built to handle Australia’s high UV, tough winds, and heavy rainfall events.
A long-term investment
For us, it’s not just about selling a product, it’s about helping growers protect their livelihood, reduce their water use, and get more from every season.
The way we see it, the right protective system doesn’t just save a crop – it helps the whole orchard perform better, year after year.
