Funding Application

Agricultural Produce Commission 2024/25 Project Funding

Each year, APC Producers’ Committees identify the services to be provided for producers, seek vendors to assist in the delivery of those projects and services and recommend a fee-for-service charge to recover the costs of delivering those services.

To assist Committees in their deliberations, the Commission is currently inviting applications for the 2024/25 funding of projects and services which provide a benefit for fee-for-service payers. The following Producers’ Committees are accepting funding proposals:

  • Potato Producers’ Committee

  • Table Grapes Producers’ Committee

To apply, complete the application form, and return the completed form (together with supporting documents) to apcmanager@dpird.wa.gov.au before close of business on 13 April 2024.

To learn more about projects which have been funded and delivered for Producers previously, check out the APC 2022/23 Annual Report.
