About the Research Hub
The Research Hub is a dedicated space within the trade exhibition showcasing levy-funded and other research across the Australian macadamia industry. It gives growers and industry stakeholders an accessible way to explore current projects, emerging findings and practical on-farm applications, while connecting researchers directly with growers to encourage discussion and feedback.
The Research Hub will:
- Offer a clear, centralised view of the industry’s research pipeline
- Facilitate meaningful exchange between growers and researchers, supporting adoption of new knowledge
- Highlight the value and impact of levy investment in innovation, productivity, and sustainability.
