Action plan to foster growth in food and wine industries

Food and wine are pivotal to South Australia’s prosperity
and central to its identity. Recognising that, an action plan to develop and expand South
Australia’s food and wine industry locally, interstate and in key overseas markets has been released.

 The plan provides a blueprint to further build, grow and secure our
food and wine industries – whether that’s primary producers such as growers, farmers and fishers; packers and processors; wineries and food manufacturers; wholesalers, markets and retailers; or food services such as restaurants, cafes and bars.

It was developed in response to an extensive and wide-ranging consultation with the food and wine industry sector aimed at addressing a number of the opportunities and challenges within the sector, which generates more than $16 billion a year and employs one in five South Australian workers.
