23.01.2022 CANCELLED: Grower BBQ Wednesday 18 March 2020 The Lockyer Valley Growers were due to hold our first Grower BBQ for the year tomorrow night (Wednesday 18th March). It is with great regret that we are postponing this event due to factors related to the spread of the Corona Virus. Some of the speakers who were due to present at the BBQ are not able to attend and we feel it is in the best interest for all involved if we postpone the event. A future date for the BBQ has not been s...et at this point. We realise how important this event is to the Growers and will endeavour to hold the event in the near future. Regards Michael Sippel President Lockyer Valley Growers Inc.

11.01.2022 The Lockyer Growers tour of South Korea is entering our 5th day of exploring opportunities for our produce in these markets. Yesterday was a highlight for the group as we had the opportunity to visit a packhouse operation, packing some of Lockyer Valley's finest broccoli. Today we will be able to showcase some of our finest produce to the importers. To say we are a little excited is an understatement. A Big thanks to the growers back home who have made the effort to pack some quality produce for our showcase.

11.01.2022 We had a hugely productive day yesterday. We visited the buyers of Lotte Supermarket (One of the largest chains in Korea). They were very impressed with our presentation and we will be meeting them again and other importers today at the Australian Embassy to showcase the actual products we have imported. The products looked great after leaving Australia on Saturday. Everything travelled well and we are super excited to discuss opportunities today at the Embassy. We leave here tomorrow and I must say it has been one of the best trips we have been on. It is like exploring a new frontier. The Cauliflower, Radicchio from Darren Howard and diced pumpkin samples from Rugby farms, would be the first ever to arrive in Korea from Australian shores.

10.01.2022 Thanks to Scott Buchholz MP, our water solutions are a big step closer!

10.01.2022 Enjoy this weeks update.
