This collaborative program was designed to increase Australian vegetable exports, by supporting growers to capitalise on commercial business opportunities.

It supported the roles and activities of export facilitators across Australia’s vegetable growing regions, establishing a facilitator network across Australia.

The facilitators helped create export plans in conjunction with vegetable growing businesses, promoting collaboration within the industry, and providing linkages across the supply chain that aimed to assist in achieving the overarching objective of the Vegetable Industry Export Strategy of growing the value of vegetable exports by 40 per cent by end 2020.
