Grower event
On the 15th of November, the WA Stonefruit Committee and APC launched the WA Stonefruit Strategic Plan 2024–28 at the Kalamunda Community Centre in the heart of Kalamunda.
WA Stonefruit provided a smorgasbord and drinks, which was enjoyed by all who attended the event.
Anthony Caccetta chair of the WA Stonefruit Committee and Mark Scott presented the new Strategic plan to the growers.
The Strategic Plan was well received by the growers after Anthony and Mark explained the vision and role of the committee in its development.
The vision for the Stonefruit Industry is for a resilient, sustainable, and profitable Western Australian Stonefruit Industry with skilled growers delivering quality produce in high demand by the West Australian, domestic, and international customers.
The role of the Committee is to respond to industry needs and maximise the returns of growers by delivering effective industry programs, communications, and services which deliver against the Industry Strategy.
Anthony thanked WA Stonefruit Project Coordinator Ross Anile, and helpers for bringing together the event, and the Fiolo Family and WA Farm Direct for providing the stonefruit on display.
