Title
Fruits, Tropical and Exotic Fruits and Food, Seafood and Aquaculture - Australian Tropical Foods
Description
Australian Tropical Foods is an economic cluster group of members from the food industry in Tropical North Queensland, Australia. The cluster is an initiative of Cairns Region Economic Development Corporation, funded by the Australian Federal Government through the Regional Solutions Program.
The industry represents a diverse range of exciting and unique products on a small to medium business level. Australian Tropical Foods cluster provides the necessary collective assistance and collaborative marketing for this emerging industry.
Industry clustering is the collaborative effort of groups of communities and industries pooling their knowledge, expertise and motivation to increase their competitive advantage. Because the majority of small to medium-sized firms often lack critical mass and cannot leverage the financial and marketing expertise required to compete in today's global economy. Communities and businesses should examine the idea of organizing themselves into larger networks. Without the capacity to do this, businesses find it harder to compete on an international stage and the ultimate price will be paid at the local level, where jobs growth will slow and communities will find it harder to expand their economies.
