Communication
It is imperative that growers stay abreast of new developments
if they are to compete on a global market. Communication is a
key objective of the industry’s strategic plan and occurs
on many levels.
Australian Citrus Growers (Citrus Australia), the peak national body, represents
growers at the national level.
Regional grower organisations in most major production areas and
state statutory citrus authorities are an important resource for
growers. On farm, grower groups, known as CITTgroups Australia,
demonstrate new technologies and growing methods to growers throughout
the year to facilitate adoption of research findings.
Growers and other supply chain participants can also access research
and development outcomes at the Citrus Australia Annual Conferences, via the
Citrus Australia website, www.citrusaustralia.com.au or via industry publications
including Australian Citrus News, Citrus Insight and the Citrus Australia Annual
Report.
The Australian industry contributes to the world citrus community
through sharing of research, conducting international tours, hosting
international delegations, developing alliances, partaking in
international events and conferences.
