Horticulture Innovation Australia (Hort Innovation) is a not-for-profit, grower-owned Research and Development Corporation (RDC) for Australia’s $15.1 billion horticulture industry. Hort Innovation invests around $120 million in research and development (R&D) and marketing programs annually to provide benefit to industry and the wider community.
Hort Innovation is seeking a suitably qualified, experienced and capable delivery partner for the project: Multi-pest surveillance and grower education to manage banana pests and diseases (BA21003).
The objectives of the services being sought are to:

• Collect data and monitor the status of priority pests and diseases across major banana production regions.
• Develop knowledge and tools for diagnosis of multiple high priority banana pests and diseases.
• Inform, educate and up-skill banana growers and their on-farm advisors to implement on-farm surveillance and best pest and disease management practices, with close linkages and collaboration with BA21004.
• Collaborate with the banana industry R&D coordinator (BA20002) and other key stakeholders to maximise the reach and impact of this project.
• Collaborate with levy-funded communication and extension programs (e.g., BA18001 and BA19004) in the generation of extension activities and resources to support change in grower KASA (knowledge, attitudes, skills, aspirations) and adoption of project outputs.
