Plans to open a $13.8 million pineapple processing plant on the Capricorn Coast are now in limbo after Hidden Valley Harvest Ltd. behind the project went into liquidation. The 2000 square metre facility at Yeppoon was jointly funded by the federal government and Hidden Valley Harvest Pty Ltd.
Designed to feature leading edge food technology, construction on the plant was green-lit at a sod turning event in December, 2019, and slated to be operational by June, 2020. However, Hidden Valley Harvest terminated the construction company in February 2021, due to planning disagreements, and now the facility remains unfinished.
