This project supports four scholarships annually on the IFPA Produce Executive Program for employees from vegetable levy-paying organisations in 2023, 2024 and 2025.
The course combines personal and professional development, skill enhancement, industry forum and practical learning application. The program is a week-long, fully residential executive development course, industry forum and networking event run in May each year that incorporates faculty lectures, in-depth case studies, field trips, workshops on issues and opportunities, group discussions and guest presentations for up to 42 participants annually.
The program provides a rare opportunity to access knowledge and insights across the supply chain by networking with industry peers and through interactive discussions with industry leaders.
The program is designed to integrate course content into the participant’s business. Current issues facing individuals, companies and the industry are identified and addressed by recognised industry experts and participants from all value chain segments.

This project has been funded by Hort Innovation, using the research and development levies listed below and contributions from the Australian Government. Hort Innovation is the grower-owned, not-for-profit research and development corporation for Australian horticulture.
