Industry Priorities for 2010/11 Funding
Due to limited funds available the Fresh Potato industry does not invite proposals for 2010-11 funding. Due to the establishment of the Australian Potato Research program Phase 2 (APRP2) the Processed Potato (Potato Value Added) industry does not invite proposals for 2010-11 funding. If you would like further information about Annual Investment Priorities and the strategic direction of the Fresh or Processed Potato industry, please contact: Stuart Burgess Industry Services Manager T: 03 6321 1945 M: 0417 536 300 E: stuart.burgess@horticulture.com.au
