Australian Wild Prawn Research and Development Planning, Implementation, Extension and Utilisation
About the Project The Australian Prawn wild catch sector has had significant decline with the financial crisis worsening in the last 12 months. The industry comprises of more than 1000 small businesses throughout Australia with little or no capacity to coordinate investment in and manage industry development. Recovering lost industry value and delivering future growth is contingent upon coordinated investment in industry development at the whole of industry level. Project Objectives 1. To coordinate the planning, implementation, and reporting of research and development projects conducted by the Australian Seafood Cooperative Research Centre to achieve the outcomes specified in the Australian Council of Prawn Fisheries' Strategic Plan. 2. To facilitate the prawn industry participation in Seafood Cooperative Research Centre projects and the extension and utilisation of the project results, particularly in relation to the development of new products and new markets. 3.

Perhaps most importanlty for a management plan. this will identify what is not going to be attempted. The industry and Association will be able to focus its efforts on what can be achieved. It will ensure resources are allocated efficiently and effectively. Project Objectives 1. The development of a business plan, agreed by the Association and key industry stakeholders, that identifies the key strategic priorities to be achieved in the next three years, allocates responsibilties for managing the plan and identifies the financial and other resources required. ____________________________________________________ |

Review for the Australian Oyster Consortium on their Strategic Market Direction
About the Project The Oyster Consortium is in danger of making market investment decisions without agreed strategy or, stalled by indecision, making an insignificant investment to ensure a profitable marketplace on completion of the CRC. The Consortium needs an agreed document, collating all work undertaken onconsumer trends and expectations, that guides its investment within the marketing area. It also needs a strategic direction for the industry. Project Objectives 1. Accept a documented summary of consumer expectations from which to guide investment. 2. Form views on industry needs and strategies that enable the industry to meet those expectations. 3. Preliminary input into the Business Plan and resolution on financial contribution into relevant CRC projects _____________________________________________________ |

Australian Farmed Prawn Industry Research and Development Planning, Implementation and Extension
About the Project This project will provide financial support to the Australian Prawn Farmer's Association (APFA) to ensure that APFA members work collaboratively to implement research and development results delivered through the Cooperative Research Centre. The major focus of the project is to establish on going systems and mechanisms to fill this gap and in so doing provide valuable information to other participants regarding ways to achieve business outcomes through the research and development conducted by the Cooperative Research Centre. The project officer will also provide support to the CRC funded benchmarking project that is already producing useful information requiring dissemination to and consideration by the APFA members. Project Objectives 1. Developing an effective mechanism to commercialise the prawn genetics research and development. 2. Establishing the mechanisms to implement the results from the initial benchmarking project and any subsequent projects that arise from it relating to adding market value to Australian farmed prawns. __________________________________________________________________________ |

Australian Oyster Industry Business Plan
About the Project The project aims to resolve a lack of direction for the oyster industry’s research and development investment and provide direction for the industry’s growth. In order to construct this it is essential to examine: market development, production efficiencies, supply chain management, environmental sustainability, community perception, industry structure, human capital, regulatory environment and financial performance. The overarching objective is to facilitate industry growth, value and increase farm profitability, hence the reason for a Business Plan rather than a strategic plan. Project Objectives 1. Create a five year Business Plan, encompassing Sydney Rock and Pacific Oysters in all Oyster producing states, containing a series of national prioritised strategies and objectives in each of the key areas: Market development, Production efficiencies, Supply chain management, Environmental sustainability, Community perception, Industry structure, Human capital, Regulatory environment and Financial performance. 2. Recommend actions to each of the prioritized strategies within the business plan to provide direction to facilitate industry growth, value and increase farm profitability through the 5 year Business Plan. 3. Recommend and prioritise actions for industry R & D, policy and advocacy work through the five year Business Plan _____________________________________________________ |
