Stakeholders are invited to contribute to the next National Fruit Fly Strategy (NFFS) through a series of regional workshops.

The workshop series will test preliminary economic analysis and seek input on what stakeholders need to see in the next strategy. Feedback gathered will help ensure the strategy reflects industry priorities, regional challenges and future investment needs.

A further workshop is planned for southern Western Australia later in August. Details, including dates, venues and registration information, will be shared as they are confirmed.

Stakeholders are encouraged to participate in a workshop to ensure their views are considered in shaping the next NFFS.

Fruit fly remains one of Australia’s most significant biosecurity challenges, with impacts on production, trade, market access and regional communities. The next NFFS will guide future action, investment and collaboration across government, industry and research sectors.
