This quadrennial conference incorporates the interests of Avocados Australia www.avocado.org.au and New Zealand Avocado Growers Association and Industry Council www.nzavocado.co.nz.
Both groups are their countries peak industry body representing the interests of the ever growing Australian and New Zealand avocado industry.
We work with all parts of the “supply chain”, from production through to the consumer. Our aim is to continually improve the ability of the entire industry, not just growers, to provide a healthy, profitable and safe product for all consumers.
The Conference appeals to all sectors of this vibrant industry with special sessions covering every part of the supply chain – a more holistic view of the industry.
The Conference is a strategic part of achieving our competitive advantage - being a united and well-organised industry with funding for R&D and market development.
It also sets the scene for Australia’s hosting of the World Avocado Congress in 2011 where the world will visit us and map out the future of this fabulous fruit. I urge you to become part of our conference supply chain.
Should you wish to discuss this sponsorship opportunity please call the conference managers on +61 7 3858 5528.
