Potato Business Grower Groups
Eight Simplot Potato Grower Groups were established across Tasmania and supported by a Simplot Field Officer to inform the development of coordinated strategy to identify the needs of growers and other members of the supply chain and address these needs through workshops, groups and one-on-one services, using a range of funding resources and where appropriate national and Tasmanian specialists. The purpose of the groups was to create a mechanism for growers and Simplot to work collaboratively to build producer capacity to manage their farm businesses in an economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable manner over the long term. This report aims to summarise the project PT07016, Potato Business Grower Groups, which ran from August 2007 to August 2010.
