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 prestigious 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.

“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,” said delicious. Content Director Krysia Bonkowski.

“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.”

Harvey Norman Executive Chairman Gerry Harvey says the longevity of the 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.

“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.”
