The Plan encompasses the whole of the South Australian food industry along the value chain, including pre-farm gate and post farm-gate products, and local, interstate and international markets.

Target: 8% annual growth in the value of finished food products.

The target will be achieved through government and industry partnership, continuing to build a South Australian food industry characterised by:   

  • A diverse range of profitable, innovative and growing food businesses investing new capital and employing increasing numbers of South Australians.
  •    
  • Widespread market driven value adding resulting in distinctive, high quality products that seek a premium price position, and return increasing wealth for South Australia.
  •    
  • Low input costs and efficient value chains.
  •    
  • An outward looking and confident industry that adapts to a changing market environment and grows South Australia's market prescence.
  •    
  • Widespread deployment of environmental management approaches and market-credible accreditation systems.
  •    
  • A strong reputation for food safety and occupational health, safety and welfare.

To achieve the headline target, industry and government programs will concentrate on industries and businesses capable of delivering the targeted growth.
