The premise of the project VG09081, Improving business skills and value chain awareness for young Queensland vegetable growers Phase 1, surrounded the facilitation of two young vegetable grower groups in important vegetable production regions of Queensland. One group in he Lockyer Valley and west Moreton regions centred on Gatton, and the second group on the Darling Downs centred on Stanthorpe. The project delivered a series of information seminars, business skills training and value chain events and a number of study tours. These outputs provided the younger generation of the vegetable industry training and awareness of relevant business skills, an improved understanding of the value chains their businesses participate in and exposed them to future challenges and opportunities that may exist for their business. Strong evidence exists to suggest this project also helped participants form relevant working networks, increase communication, expand production and collaborate more effectively across the whole vegetable supply chain. Project events were extremely well supported and this could be attributed to the key success factors of strong facilitation of the groups and the custom design, development, relevance and delivery of the events. Evaluation identified strong support to continue the events into the future and it is recommended that this occurs..
