This investment is tasked with keeping Australian vegetable and onion growers informed about current R&D activities, results and resources – supporting the adoption of industry best practice and bolstering vegetable and onion productivity and profitability in key growing areas across the country.

The program is nationally coordinated by AUSVEG and delivered “on-the ground” by regional development officers (RDOs) in key growing regions who are responsible for developing and executing regional extension plans. This includes identifying each region’s key priority issues and key regional resources and links – a critical step in ensuring growers receive assistance and information that meets their needs and will help them grow better crops and operate more efficient and profitable businesses.
