After an eight year hiatus, including lockdowns, CGA is pleased to announce the 2022 export workshop and cherry conference.

Hear from other growers and experts from Australia and overseas:  Topics include regenerative agriculture, the latest cherry production science, traceability, workforce, exports, marketing, agritourism and more.

Following the conference, we will have an industry dinner in the Grand Ballroom at the historic Hotel Windsor.  Top shelf beers, wines and non alcoholic beverages will accompany canapes on arrival, followed by alternating mains and desserts. Joel Ozborn will be Master of Ceremonies and provide comedic entertainment.  For a bit of fun, head over to the photo-booth with friends and colleagues. A night not to be missed!

On the field day, we will head out to Steritech and a freight forwarder to see export processes conducted first hand, including irradiation, fumigation, AO and known consignor inspections well as some tech demos.
