Member Benefits

Group actions unite growers as a single voice with more influence than any individual could achieve alone.

VGA membership is a cost effective way to protect your very considerable investment in vegetable growing.

If your not a VGA member …
we'd like you to join us !

The VGA represents all vegetable growers in Victoria. We will assist with your diverse troubles and interests, whether they be market related; difficulties with Federal, State or Local Government or horticultural matters on your farm.

The list of problems confronting growers is endless, however; the VGA will assist you where we can, particularly by lobbying the people who can make a difference.
