The Market and Value Chain Development Design Team determine how the industry R&D program can help to open new markets and expand existing markets for Australian vegetables and to help growers add value to their business in domestic and export markets.” The Farm Productivity, Resource Use and Management Design Team, focus on what research is needed to give growers the tools to improve on-farm production efficiencies. The team considers issues such as the rising costs of inputs such as labour, variable climates, water and soil shortages, and emerging pests and diseases.
The list of requirements for each Design Team can be obtained from AUSVEG, however it is important for growers to be involved in determining how their R&D levy is spent.
