Riverland Wine Industry Blueprint

In reply to the Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) ().9 April 2024).

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): I am advised:

Key South Australian wine industry stakeholders and representatives, including grapegrowers, winemakers, South Australian wine industry leaders, relevant local council representatives, rural support services and community members were engaged directly to discuss the current red wine oversupply with the working group, which visited the region on 27 March 2024.

Involvement of Riverland stakeholders was facilitated by the Department of Primary Industries and Regions following regular and ongoing engagement on issues facing the sector and were identified as being best placed to represent the diverse views across the industry.
