Australian Wine Grape Industry Taking Stock and Setting Directions project (2006)

In July 2006, the Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Wine Grape Growers Australia Inc initiated the Taking Stock and Setting Directions (TSSD) Project under the Government’s Industry Partnerships Program (IPP).  The IPP is part of the Agriculture – Advancing Australia package, which helps primary industries to become more competitive, profitable, sustainable, resilient and self-reliant.

The objectives of the project were to:

1.  Undertake an analysis of the wine grape industry s current situation and performance.

2.  Identify likely challenges and opportunities for the wine grape industry over the next 5 -10 years.

3.  Determine the capacity of the wine grape industry to respond to current and future challenges and opportunities.

 4.  Identify key areas that the wine grape industry could build on to increase their profitability, sustainability, competitiveness, resilience and self-reliance (including  a  process  to  assist  the  wine  grape  industry  to  determine appropriate responses to these key areas).

 5.  Assist the wine grape industry to develop its own strategies on issues the industry has identified as high priority.
