$16.5m project to increase reputation of Australian produce in Asia
The four-year national project, with the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, will explore a tightening of export operations along all stages of the supply chain — from the way produce is packed, to how it is stored, to shortening the time from picking to arriving on supermarket shelves.
Horticulture Innovation Australia chief executive John Lloyd said the project would ensure end-buyers were getting the best fruit, vegetables and nut products possible.
“We look forward to working with the Queensland Government, and industry, to help propel the nation’s export offering to the next level," he said.
