A Victorian Government initiative that is helping country Victorians working in the agri-food sector enhance their business and export skills through professional development or accredited training.
The scholarships target innovative professionals who live in country Victoria and work in agri-business, allowing them to expand into new markets or launch a new product, which will boost exports and create jobs.
Examples of agri-food professionals who have been awarded a scholarship include a plum grower who is seeking to gain a better understanding of how corporate fresh food buyers operate and how to become a supplier of choice and a seed producer who is seeking to increase export opportunities and help promote Victoria's strengths as a reliable quality provider of forage seed.
Applications for the scholarship program and business grants are available on http://www.vic.gov.au/foodsource.
