Description
The Murray Valley Citrus Board is a Statutory Body established by the Murray Valley Citrus Acts 1989 of Victoria and New South Wales. In June 2004, the Board was reconstituted under the Agricultural Industry Development Act (1990) of Victoria.
Citrus production in the Murray Valley stretches from the South Australian /Victorian border south east through the highly productive areas of Sunraysia, Mid Murray (Swan Hill and Barham) to the area surrounding Wangaratta. Broadly speaking it covers a distance of more than 600 kilometres along the Murray River. There are over 60 registered Approved Receivers (packers and processors), and a number of merchants in the Murray Valley area. Merchants handling fresh citrus are predominantly located in the capital city markets whilst the packers and processors are generally located in the production area.
The business of the AGM was to vote on the Board’s proposed programs for 2005/06. Under the Agricultural Industry Development Act of 1990, the MVCB is required to have programs to be funded by the regional levy on citrus production, approved by a vote of levy paying growers. Voting results and programs are now available. more:
