Completed project
Facilitating the development of the Australian pineapple industry - stage 3 (PI15000)
Publication date: September 10, 2018
Delivery Partner: Growcom Australia
Beginning in late 2015 and ending in early 2018, this project was established to support the adoption of innovation and technology in the Australian pineapple industry to help growers remain resilient, viable and profitable. It supported the role of an industry development officer (IDO) to help build knowledge of R&D in the industry, facilitate opportunities for information exchange and learning among growers and with other stakeholders, and promote capacity building in the industry.
Activities of the IDO included…
As the industry was aware, the project’s original IDO, Georgie Townsend, left the role during the course of the project in 2017, with the position temporarily filled by Steve Tiley. After discussions and consensus with the pineapple Strategic Investment Advisory Panel, the project team, and the Australian Pineapple Leadership Group, Hort Innovation concluded this investment early with a view to establishing new work to continue investment in prioritised areas of R&D.
This project was a strategic levy investment in the Hort Innovation Pineapple Fund
