This investment is delivering a crisis management plan for the onion industry. As well as identifying risks and mitigation activities, in the event of an issue or crisis, having a clear plan in place ensures the industry is prepared with the information and processes needed to respond effectively, responsibly and in a coordinated, unified way. The management guidelines – and the relevant training this project is delivering – also ensure that stakeholders involved in crisis response for the industry understand the process and are equipped and ready to be involved.

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.
