In 2010-11 the horticulture industry in Australia was valued at $8.74 billion and in Victoria at $2.64 billion per annum. The Australian Bureau of Statistics estimated that around 3375 businesses in Victoria are involved in horticultural activities. Of those businesses, most are concerned with the production of fruit (particularly pome fruit, citrus, stone fruit and berries), almonds (and other nuts), grapes and vegetables.

We are focused on partnering with other service providers where there is a shared benefit and co-investment.

Our key aim is to contribute to the target of doubling food and fibre production by 2030 by growing the adaptive capacity of the industry, helping producers to manage risks and capitalise on market opportunities.
