A Crisis Management Team, facilitated by AUSVEG, has been funded and trained to effectively respond to any crisis that may negatively impact growers, consumers, industry assets or the reputation of the vegetable industry.

A crisis management plan has been developed by the industry to respond to a crisis. The AUSVEG Crisis Management Team works with relevant stakeholders, authorities and the supply chain to manage and minimise the impact of crises on the industry.

Early notification and preparation are critical to an effective industry response. For immediate assistance, contact the Crisis Hotline at 1300 855 170 or AUSVEG/media inquiries at 03 9882 0277.
