This final report details the outcomes of a one and a half day workshop the Root Vegetables Think Tank held in Adelaide, 19th and 20th April 2010, where root vegetable growers, researchers, industry development officers, processors, and consultants determined the priorities for future investment of national vegetable levy funds in root vegetable research and development (R&D) projects. The Think Tank presented an opportunity to improve dialogue and working relationships between growers, research providers and other industry people. Information was presented by research providers on current and recently completed HAL projects being undertaken on root vegetables. Delegates discussed issues facing the Australian root vegetable industry and determined the priorities for future research and development investment.

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.
