Australia’s export fodder is a 1.3 million tonne industry worth a booming half a billion dollars annually, providing strong financial returns to growers. The AgriFutures #ExportFodder Program is investing in two priority projects that are driving the success of these markets. 🌱🚜 The Department of Primary Industries & Regional Development (WA) is investigating ways to reduce weather-induced fungal staining on oaten hay windrow. This issue affects the visual quality of the hay, its suitability for export and the economic returns for both growers and exporting companies. 🌿🌧️ McMullen Consulting is leading an ongoing project to ensure industry compliance with chemical regulations across different export sectors. By monitoring export market chemical requirements and regulatory changes, they help export companies and growers stay informed. They also maintain the online chemical recording system, Fodder Safe, for the Australian export hay industry. 🧪📋 Read more about the importance of these projects for the export fodder industry. 🌍📈 https://bit.ly/3Z7kWbS australian fodder industry association
