Food
Australia exports over $22 billion of food every year. Exports of food from Victoria have increased from $2 billion in 1991/92 to $7.2 billion in 2001/02, an increase of about 250%, significantly greater than any other state. (source: Taste of Victoria Spring 2003)
Here in the City of Whittlesea, the food industry is thriving. Already many top food producers have made their home in our City.
There are names you know, like Inghams Poultry, Stambo's Fine Foods, Chiquita Mushrooms, The Original Juice Co. and Jalna Dairy Products. There are also many new gourmet food producers, who have realised why Whittlesea is drawing the crowds.
A 17 minute trip to Melbourne Airport means your produce is in Asia for the morning market. A freeway network on your doorstep means local and national distribution is a breeze. Add a skilled workforce and competitive costs and you have a recipe for business success.
The City of Whittlesea is committed to the growth of the food industry in our region. The Food Industry Cluster is an initiative to foster this growth and support our local businesses. Yet another reason why your food business belongs right here.
