2008 Tours
SEPWA Ladies' International Study Tour
March - April 2008
Fourteen ladies from various areas of the Esperance Port Zone toured Singapore, Malaysia and China. From learning the finer points of making and cooking noodles, consuming huge amounts of 'Munchies', a time warp of bread history, flour mills, breweries and markets - we got to see firsthand where our grain goes and what these end users expect from buying grain. It was encouraging to see that the future of our markets in developing Asian countries will only increase due to consumers having more disposable income and changing diets from rice to flour based foods.
Young Growers' Study Tour
July 2008
On the 20th of July, 16 young growers from SEPWA and 8 from the Liebe Group, met in Perth for a four day tour of various facilities in Perth, to gain a greater insight into what happens to their grain once it leaves the farm. It also gave young farmers the opportunity to interact with other growers from different regions of the state, opening up networking between members of both grower organisations.
