Following on from an enthusiastic session at the 2012 national conference, the AOA is undertaking a benchmarking survey of Australian groves. To date they have had a moderate response and are urging other growers to complete the survey, to enable the information to be correctly analysed and discussed. All information provided is strictly confidential and participants will be provided with a hard copy summary of the results. If enough responses are received, the generic results will be discussed at the 2013 National Olive Industry Conference & Trade Expo in Hobart, Tasmania in October. For a copy of the survey, email the AOA office at: secretariat@australianolives.com.au.
