The value chain framework

The Strategy aims to enhance international competitiveness of the South Australian food industry by providing a framework for industry and Government to work collaboratively.

The key focus is for industry to adopt a value chain approach over the next five years to meet economic, productivity and environmental targets.

To remain internationally competitive, the industry must continue to meet consumer expectations by being sustainable, well managed and consumer driven. Food businesses must have skilled workers, excellent food safety systems, robust biosecurity systems and efficient infrastructure. With these elements in place, South Australia’s food industry will become one of the State’s best structured industries with a high performing value chain driven by collaborative and innovative businesses.

“Industry must become more consumer driven in its approach right along the chain of food, from paddock to plate and there is a need for collaboration around food industries - between Government, industry and the community, to enhance innovation and success.”
