If you’re in the Balonne and Border Rivers regions of Queensland, there’s funding currently available to help understand and develop markets. The Queensland Government’s High Value Horticulture Value Chains project is offering a co-investment funding scheme, providing direct financial support to eligible farm and post-farm gate businesses to help stimulate development of new high value horticultural value chains in the Murray-Darling Basin region. The project activities range from assessing crop suitability and building value chain capacity to developing new markets and analysing new value chains. The first stage of accessing these funds ends on 20 April 2015. More information here or to discuss your project idea, contact senior industry development officer Justin Heaven on 13 25 23 or Justin.heaven@daf.qld.gov.au.
