Completed project
Communications project for the banana industry (BA13003)
Publication date: May 27, 2009
Delivery Partner: Australian Bananas Grower's Council
This project, which ran from 2014 to 2016, aimed to keep Australian banana growers and other industry stakeholders informed about key industry issues and the latest R&D updates in a timely way. Updates assist growers in making production decisions, and build industry capacity, productivity and profitability.
The project included editions of Australian Bananas magazine and, until August 2015, the hard-copy Australian Banana News newsletter, plus fortnightly industry e-bulletins. SMS notifications (and some phone calls) were made to growers for urgent industry updates and an average of two media releases went out each month.
The team established a Facebook page to keep growers up to date on the Panama TR4 outbreak, the industry website was updated and videos were made for the Australian Banana Growers’ Council.
