Funded Activity Summary

For over a decade, the barramundi industry has recognised that in the face of price pressures from
low cost imports, and in order to effectively undertake generic promotion of Australian quality
barramundi, there must be consistent, minimum quality scheme across the industry to justify the price
premiums required. This is a key component of its industry security and development philosophy.

The Quality Scheme was identified as a key strategic priority for industry at its recent ½ yearly
planning Workshop.

The ABFA does not have resources within its reserves to carry out this project and as such it relies
solely on its residual CRC funds to undertake the project.


Objectives:
1. Development of a whole of industry Quality Scheme for the Australian farmed barramundi industry.
2. Development of a process for incorporating a Quality Scheme into the industry Barramundi Farming Certification Program (BFCP) and its ongoing resourcing
