Bundaberg Fruit & Vegetable Growers

Bundaberg Fruit and Vegetable Growers Co op Ltd VISION OF BFVG: “TO REPRESENT THE INTERESTS OF THE PRODUCTION HORTICULTURE INDUSTRY IN OUR REGION ON ISSUES CRITICAL TO THE INDUSTRY’S SUSTAINABILITY” BFVG was established in 1948 to represent horticulture growers in the Bundaberg region on issues critical to their overall success. As a regional Industry representative organisation, BFVG has evolved to become a central Horticulture Industry contact point. BFVG is a non-trading, not-for-profit membership based cooperative representing the fruit, vegetable, nut and herb growers from across the Wide Bay and Burnett. The Bundaberg region is one of the largest Production Horticulture regions in Australia growing a diverse range of healthy nutritious fruits, vegetables, nuts, herbs and salad commodities . The Bundaberg region alone is estimated to have an annual farm gate value of more than $500 million, injects over $1 billion into the local economy (an integral role in the nation’s food security). Add to this the value of commodities in Gayndah and Gympie, it is not hard to realise the significance.
