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: Emerging trends on non-tariff measures (NTMs) in the horticulture sector (AM22001).
The objectives of the services being sought are to:
