About the Hort Innovation Blueberry Fund
In February 2019, the voluntary blueberry R&D levy was established by industry, for investment through the blueberry collective industry fund (CIF) – otherwise known as the Hort Innovation Blueberry Fund. More information on the levy and its investment can be found here.
As the levy begins to be invested into new initiatives, this section of Hort Innovation’s website will come to house key information including updates on levy fund management; details on the industry’s investments and their progress; resources and tools relating to investments; and plenty more.
