Hort Innovation is in the process of developing the next five-year Strategic Investment Plan (SIP) for the Australian vegetable industry. The vegetable SIP is the roadmap that ensures levy investment decisions align with industry for research, development, extension, and marketing (Domestic and International) investment priorities.

An important part of the process is listening to what growers have to say.

Hort Innovation, in collaboration with AUSVEG, hosted a webinar on Tuesday 24 August and provided an update on the SIP renewal process, allowing the vegetable industry and growers to provide final input.

Did you know that the vegetable industry has a Strategic Investment Plan (SIP) that provides the roadmap to guide Hort Innovation’s investment of levies and government contributions?

In 2021, Hort Innovation is engaging with vegetable growers and industry stakeholders to develop a refreshed SIP for the vegetable industry that will span from 2022-2026. The vegetable SIP will lay the foundation for decision making in levy investments, representing a balanced view of stakeholders from within the industry, helping Hort Innovation prioritise and implement relevant R&D, marketing and export needs over the next five years.

Hort Innovation and AUSVEG hosted a webinar to provide an overview of what the SIP renewal process will look like for the vegetable industry and how input can be provided.
