The Australian potato industry is
set for increased success after
AUSVEG and the Potato
Processors Association of Australian (PPAA) formalised their
commitment to working together for the betterment of the
industry by signing a historic Memorandum of Understanding.
AUSVEG Chair Mike Badcock and PPAA President Allan Smith
conducted the signing ceremony in Sydney last night in front of
the AUSVEG Board of Directors.
AUSVEG Chair, Mike Badcock said “this agreement will allow both
organisations to further enhance their mutual understanding and
relationship, as well as increase communication.
By working more closely together both organisations will
compliment and network to deliver improved benefits for growers
and processors”.
“This is a major step forward for the industry in improving
collaboration and increasing the positive profile of the potato
industry”, Mike said.
Working together is one of the key objectives of the vegetable
industry strategic plan, Vegvision 2020 which encourages the
Australian vegetable and potato industry to work as a whole.
AUSVEG looks forward to forming similar working relationships
with like-minded organisations for the future cultivation of the
industry.
AUSVEG is the national peak industry body representing the
interests of Australian vegetable and potato growers and is
committed to securing the industry’s future. The PPAA is the
national peak industry body representing potato processors in
Australia. |
