Viability of a commercially sustainable West Coast horticulture industry

Abstract

The aim of this report is to assess the feasibility of establishing a horticultural industry on the West Coast. The industry should be intended to be of sufficient size to facilitate the development of an infrastructure to support the ongoing development and evolution of horticulture on the West Coast. The industry development should also be in the relatively short term and therefore it is not intended that new markets should be explored but rather this industry to take advantage of exiting supply channels, some scoping of which had already been done by stakeholders on the West Coast.
