Australian Government Commits $35 Million to Horticultural Netting

The Australian Government is committing $35 million to enable more Australian horticulturalists to purchase and install protective netting through the national expansion of the Horticultural Netting Program Trial.

Research indicates that netting delivers productivity benefits by:

• protecting crops from extreme weather and predators
• increasing water use efficiency.

Netting helps producers to:

• maintain fruit quality
• ensure continuity of supply
• manage production risks

The expansion of the project is designed to:

• provide assistance to growers Australia wide
• develop future resilience against climate change impacts
• improve the quantity and quality of crops
• support the agricultural industry reach its Ag2030 target.
