SRA Research Showcase – 5th March 2024

SRA R & D Plan Information and Feedback Session – 6th March 2024

Dear Members

The SRA Research Showcase and R & D Plan Information and Feedback Session events, were attended by Robert Malaponte and Joe Quagliata, as KCGO Representatives.  Robert and Joe would like to thank Terry Granshaw for inviting and organising for them to have their say on Industry matters.

Mr Malaponte said that not only was it important for SRA to plan for their Strategic long term plan, we can’t take focus away from Industry issues that are currently impacting farmers.

Mr Malaponte indicated to SRA, issues that KCGO are heavily invested in, are the matters that affect individual growers today, which include present State and Federal Legislation, also a major concern for growers were the continuance of huge inconsistencies with rate values.

Mr Malaponte stated that KCGO Collective main roles were working towards creating better outcomes to benefit our valued Members.

In March next year there will be a meeting held, of all Stakeholders, to review the 10 year Plan that eventuated out of this two day workshop. 

Regards

Robert Malaponte
