Growers tour to Israel, Berlin and Spain !
Ten Australian vegetable growers will have the opportunity of a lifetime when they visit the Fruit Logistica conference in Berlin, Germany, and view horticultural facilities and grower practices in Israel and Spain early next year.
Initial expressions of interest should be lodged no later than 24 December 2009.
The tour is set to depart on 27 January 2010 and return on 12 February 2010.
Tour attendees will learn about the production, marketing and supply chain systems in all three countries, with a particular focus on cutting edge water management technologies and operations in climates similar to those experienced by many Australian growers.
The tour cost will be substantially subsidised by the National Vegetable Levy. Growers will be required to make a voluntary contribution of approximately $3,000 toward the cost of the tour.
All air and land travel, single room accommodation and most meals will be included as well as registration for the Fruit Logistica conference.
A non-subsidised supplement for business class airfares will be offered subject to seat availability.
