WA Investment Prospectus (RDA)

Food Hubs and Aquaculture Investment Opportunities

1. State-wide opportunities exist to invest in new common user food hubs and expanding existing food enterprises to provide marketing, processing, storage and freight services in support of artisan food producers. 2. There is an opportunity for the aquaculture industry and government to develop a feasibility study for a WA feed mill to meet demand as the industry reaches scale to improve cost structures, supply resilience and carbon pollution impact, while averting potential trade barriers. 3. The current capacity of hatcheries is close to fully subscribed, thus creating new prospects in both aquaculture and associated common user refrigerated logistics infrastructure. 4. Block chain technologies provide openings to a ‘clean-green biosecurity and regional provenance’ assurance. This service supports the development of high value regional

brands and niche aquaculture, food and beverage product markets. 5. There is potential for marketing services to underpin branding.

6. There is a significant opportunity for regional food hubs to work with government in a supply line that supports a central value-added artisan food and beverage market and distribution hub in Perth. 7. There is demand for a hub and spoke approach to delivering training that is centrally co- ordinated and delivered onsite at regional industry facilities.
