''Varieties, Commercialisation and Biosecurity "
The Citrus Australia National Conference 2009 was held in Mildura, Victoria at the Setts from 8-11 November. The conference attracted nearly 300 growers and industry delegates.
Thank you to all the delegates, speakers, sponsors, staff and volunteers who made it such a successful and enjoyable event!!!
The focus of the conference was on the commercialisation of new varieties, biosecurity and grower profitability.
Keynote speaker at the conference, Dr Etienne Rabe, Vice President of Paramount Citrus, the largest grower and packer of citrus in California, says the days of free new varieties are numbered. "Australia – as one of the highest cost countries – needs to focus on the newest technology and varieties to gain advantage.”
