Many of you have been raising concerns about HARPs (the new harmonised food safety scheme ) over the last few months. Along with other industry organisations, Growcom has placed significant pressure on Hort Innovation to fund workshops to address your questions and concerns. The HARPs team are doing a roadshow in March and April with a number of Queensland workshops scheduled. In particular we requested two extra workshops be added to the program – one to be held in Brisbane at 10am on the 21/03 and the other in Gatton on the 22/03 to ensure that growers from around SEQ could attend the workshops.
