Traceability Grants Program – Round 3

Overview

The Traceability Grants Program (TGP), part of the Modernising Agricultural Trade – Protecting Australia’s Clean, Green Brand initiative, supports collaborative agricultural traceability projects that assist implementation activities under the National Agricultural Traceability Strategy 2023 to 2033 (the strategy). TGP’s objectives are to: Support industry projects that enhance our agricultural supply chain traceability systems, including developing technologies that digitise information flow. Provide an advantage for exporters in overseas markets to assist them to maintain their competitive edge. Increase opportunities to export Australian commodities. TGP – Round 3 TGP Round 3 will award grants totalling $4 million (excl GST) - $2 million in 2023-24 and $2 million in 2024-25. The minimum grant size is $50,000 and the maximum is $500,000. The strategy has 8 strategic objectives and identifies 11 priority areas for action. The TGP - Round 3 will fund projects that focus on the priority areas for action that require further investment: Priority areas for action 4: Enhance and support trust and adoption of agricultural traceability through demonstration of value-add and return on investment. Priority areas for action 6: Improve two-way, producer-consumer information flows to identify value-add creation and distribution opportunities and drive business development.
