Development of strategic RD&E Plan for the Australian Murray Cod industry

Murray cod farming is an emerging aquaculture sector that has the potential to achieve GVP of $10M over the next five years. Production increases in recent years are primarily due to agricultural diversification on irrigated cropping farms, and interest has been  fuelled by historically high prices. As the industry grows, however, it will need to build capacity to increase productivity and develop new markets. Fundamental to success will be an industry-endorsed plan to guide investment in research and development.

This project will engage Murray Cod producers and key stakeholders including trade buyers, agencies, and researchers, to identify the opportunities and challenges the sector faces over the next five years which will generate a 5-year road map to support industry growth.
