Australian Farmed Barramundi Strategic Plan 2007 - 2012

Funded Activity Summary

The barramundi farming industry is entering a new phase of cooperation. Increasingly growers appreciate the benefits of working closely together. In order to capitalise on the many opportunities now open to the industry it is timely that a formal planning process is undertaken.

Most in the industry recognise that there is more to gain from cooperation than destructive competition, and that other domestic growers do not pose a threat (nor does the wild caught sector) but rather an opportunity to capitalise on mutual advantages.

Also, there is a recognition of the need to build on existing strengths and improve farm efficiency through technology and innovation and build a market reputation based on quality products.

In order to take full advantage of the opportunities facing the industry it is important that a well coordinated strategic approach is adopted and documented.

Objectives:
1. Preparation of an overarching farmed barramundi industry strategic plan.
2. Preparation of a series of detailed implementation plans for four key areas namely: sustainability, marketing and value adding, value chain management, and innovation and R&D projects.
3. Better communication, involvement and commitment from barramundi growers nationally to drive the strategic planning proces.
4. Greater participation by stakeholders in the sustainable management and development of the industry.
