🥑 On World Diabetes Day, we’re proud to spotlight a partnership making a real difference in community health.

Fantastic event last night celebrating all things #freshproduce with the Parliamentary Friends of Fresh Produce. Thank you to Co-Chairs Andrew Willcox MP and Senator Raff Ciccone for your ongoing support of the group and industry. The AFPA released our Fresh Produce Market Access Priorities paper, outlining that new market access for the fresh produce industry across priority export markets is valued at over $800 million per annum, adding a further $200 million to Australia's economy Thank you to Federal Agriculture Minister Julie Collins for highlighting Government's ongoing support for growing fresh produce trade and market access. 🥑 🍊 🥬 And thank you to everyone who attended, members of the AFPA loved sharing fresh, healthy and tasty fresh produce with everyone at Parliament 🍇 🍉 🍍
🌏 From Thailand to Tasmania, and now back to New South Wales — Amie Waisoka’s journey with Costa Berries is proof that harvest work can open doors to adventure. 🍓 Amie joined Costa on a working holiday visa in 2023 and started as a berry picker in Corindi. Before long, she stepped up into an Assistant Supervisor role and discovered the benefits of our Harvest Trail program. Her path has taken her across the country: ✈️ Corindi, NSW → Tasmania for the summer harvest → back to Corindi again 🏞️ Exploring Hobart, Freycinet National Park and the west coast along the way 🤝 Building friendships with people from all over the world “The people at Costa are from all over the place and I love being outside in the fresh air, with beautiful scenery - it’s a perfect way to experience Australia.” Next stop? Possibly Western Australia before her visa wraps up. Wherever she goes, Amie’s story shows how Costa’s harvest opportunities can connect travel, work, and unforgettable experiences. 💙 #CostaBerries #HarvestTrail #CostaCareers #WorkingHoliday #TravelAndWork
Congratulations Munya Nyanhanda (MBA) on your scholarship.
I was fortunate to be awarded a Mushroom Fund Scholarship Program for 2025 from Australia Mushroom Growers Association (AMGA) and Hort Innovation Australia for an international mushroom study tour. This was the Composting Masterclass from 6 to 10 October undertaken by @Mark den Ouden from the Mushroom Office in Netherlands. The theory class was held at De Locht Museum, this was befitting as it is an agricultural heritage museum in the local area. The course explored the Planet of Mushrooms through a plethora of knowledge, expertise and networks that opened doors for new insights. The participants were from companies that are amongst the largest within the represented countries, that is New Zealand, Canada, Australia and Netherlands. Completion of prerequisite course work attaining an online Extended Mushroom Composting Certificate with 7 modules through from Mushroom Office was undertaken inorder to participate effectively. I had earlier completed an online Extended Mushroom Growing course with 7 modules from Mushrrom Office organised by Costa Mushrooms. The study tour took us to some of the leading compost and growing sites in the world including an organic farm, we visited Walkro in Maasmechelen in Belgium, Hooymans Substrates and CNC in Netherlands, and Substratwerk Gartherheide GmbH & Co in Germany. I was mesmerised with the scope and extent of operations at the farms visited, it brought another dimension that left the mind intrigued, a quote from David T Iannone “an opportunity to see something new or see something in a new way”. Passing through borders within Schengen countries without border and passport control was a first to see for me as it is part the trade agreement amongst these conutries. The amount of investment made in businesses visited and production systems adopted to ensure effectiveness and efficiency in operations addressing safety, quality and consistency of product, and lower cost of production etc was tremendous including technological customisation of certain equipment and processes to have better margins. I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to AMGA and Hort Innovation for the scholarship that has allowed me to see some of the best mushroom production systems in the world. The course stimulated the mushroom minds to be creative and innovative. I would like to thank Costa Mushrooms for the opportunity to be part of their organisation that promotes continuous improvements and learning. The differences in production systems was very fascinating, kept the class engaged and interesting. A certificate on attendance was awarded at the end of the course. I greatly learnt a lot, extended my global networks , ignited a mindset of addressing challenges in a variety of ways. I recommend such courses for passionate mushroom growers. #HortInnovationAustralia#AMGA#MushroomOffice#MushroomEducationCentre#CompostMasterclass#CostaMushrooms#Walkro#HooymansSubstrates#CNC#SubstratwerkGartherheide#MCSubstradd#MuseumdeLocht#Venlo

From Farm to Future: Leading Through Change in Agribusiness At the Women in Agribusiness Leadership Summit, Cathy Chambers shared an inspiring perspective on courage, resilience, and leadership in a changing world. Cathy spoke about saying yes to opportunities that stretch you - even when they feel uncomfortable. Her story of stepping into the role of GM of Costa’s China operations, navigating weeks of quarantine and leading through uncertainty, was a reminder that resilience is a team sport. She also reminded us that effective leadership is about hiring people smarter than you and carving out space for teams to think about the future - even during a crisis. A powerful takeaway: “Do hard things on purpose.” A simple but timeless principle for leading with purpose and impact. #Leadership #WomenInAgribusiness #CostaGroup #Growth #Resilience
