Industry’s new online hub

Dried Fruits Australia has a new website, which will serve as a key point of information for dried grape growers and stakeholders.

The website has a new look, and includes easy-to-access resources for producers, including best practice guides, and links to videos and to other helpful external sites and documents.

The site will be updated regularly with news, including links to the fortnightly Currant News e-newsletter and quarterly Vine magazine, as well as upcoming events.

The revamped website is user friendly and importantly includes a functioning library archive.

Cheung said the website had needed an update for some time, and he was pleased to see it function in a way that would serve members, consumers and the broader industry.

“Unfortunately this library feature had not been functioning for some time due to a technical issue that has been ongoing for several years,” he said.

“Thankfully, with a lot of work behind the scenes, we’ve been able to retrieve the information and relaunch this feature for our members on the site.”

The library is an important archive of historical research and information, as well as a space for the organisation’s historic documents and news. Work to upload all of the data is ongoing.

Dried Fruits Australia, formerly known as the Australian Dried Fruits Association, has represented the interests of dried grape growers for almost 120 years.

“Dried Fruits Australia and the dried grape industry is in a unique position, with a history spanning more than 100 years and many years of research and news that needed to be categorised for the online library,” Thomas said.

This will be an ongoing and growing library of resources and historic information for members to access when and where they want.

Current members should have already received an email to login and activate their account on the new website.
