This investment explored the feasibility of alternative methodologies for the collection of wholesale market price information relating to the Australian vegetable industry.

The following alternative data collection options were evaluated in terms of feasibility:
The results did not identify a feasible method of obtaining accurate price data and provided a pathway for strengthening the current system through collaboration with key stakeholders.
A recommendation was proposed to trial strengthening the current system through collaboration, without committing to any ongoing arrangements. This trial was undertaken through project Vegetable market price reporting pilot program (VG16084).
