Investment analysis
See how Citrus Fund investments are tracking against the industry’s Strategic Investment Plan
As seen on the Fund management page, investments specific to the Hort Innovation Citrus Fund are guided by the citrus Strategic Investment Plan (SIP). The SIP features priority outcome areas that have been identified and agreed upon by the industry, and Hort Innovation works to invest in R&D and marketing initiatives that are aligned to these.
In the below interactive chart, you can see the most up-to-date information on how project investment expenditure in the Citrus Fund is aligned to the SIP outcomes. This currently reflects project investment across the life of the SIP to date.
