RESEARCH
Australian oyster farmers invest in the future of their industry. Effective from July 2014, the Australian Oyster industry collectively entered into an Industry Partnership Agreement (IPA) with Fisheries Research & Development Corporation (FRDC). This continues the industry's collective decision making about how it invests. Oysters Australia's member states invest via a strategic plan with goals and investment across the following programs:
-
Program 1 - Production & Innovation
-
Program 2 - Risk Management
-
Program 3 - People & Knowledge
-
Program 4 - Post Harvest & Market Development
-
Program 5 - Industry Profile & Regulation
Extension & Adoption activities are fundamental requirements of all projects. Find out more about the Oysters Australia Strategic Plan 2020-2025 here.
