This project is intended to position the industry to achieve the target of growing exports by 40 per cent – to the value of $315 million – by 2020. This target was announced in 2017, with the release of the Vegetable Industry Export Market Development Strategy 2020. Expanding on previous export development work, activities under the project will broadly include market development and market access work, plus export readiness, training and education for growers and other stakeholders, to prepare the industry to take advantage of export opportunities.

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.
