Export Congress to explore challenges and opportunities for Queensland horticulture
Queensland horticulture growers are invited to explore current trends, key challenges, and upcoming opportunities at the Queensland Horticulture Export Congress.
Presented by peak industry body for Queensland horticulture, Growcom in partnership with AUSVEG and the Queensland Government, the Queensland Horticulture Export Congress will be held in conjunction with Hort Connections on Tuesday 8 June at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Growcom CEO Stephen Barnard said the Queensland Horticulture Export Congress would target exporting Queensland growers and export-interested growers providing an update on the latest Queensland export landscape, COVID disruptions and opportunities for export capability development.
Queensland fruit growers fear they will go out of business as a looming health rating shake-up could bring no-added sugar juice in line with some soft drinks. A review of the system proposes scrapping fresh juice s five-star rating to as low as two stars, because juice contains naturally occurring sugar. The move is expected to be another blow for already struggling Queenslander farmers, who grow 70 per cent of the fruit used in Australian juices. The Australia and New Zealand Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation, which Queensland ministers Yvette D Ath and Mark Furner sit on, will vote on the health rating on February 12.

Lost crops costing farmers’ mental health
The scarcity of seasonal workers continues to impact growers as crop losses climb to over $45 million this week.
The labour shortage is a result of Federal and state government decisions to restrict the movement of people through the Australian border in order to manage the human health impacts of COVID-19.
Sixty-five separate crop losses from five states and territories have now reported on the National Crop Lost Crop Register.
Growcom’s Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Barnard, said the current labour shortage is impacting businesses and livelihoods industry wide.
“We are witnessing a concerning number of growers reporting not just financial losses, but also a decline in mental health, strain on personal finances, and doubt surrounding their future participation in the industry,” he said.
