That is the message being delivered by the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation RIRDC as the industry gathers for the Native Food Summit in M! elbourne next week. RIRDC s Project Manager for Native Foods Alison Saunders said the development and supply of product information to regulators and consumers would be the number one priority under the industry s new five year Research and Development Plan. Native foods such as lemon myrtle bush tomatoes and mountain pepper have been used by aboriginal Australians for tens of thousands of years but if the industry is to succeed it will need to develop new markets among the broader community and overseas Ms Saunders said. Part of that market development will entail satisfying national and international food regulations education about native food characteristics nutritional and toxicity information and storage and shelf life along the supply chain. It will also require investigation into and promotion of health benefits aroma and flavour profiles and standardised native food naming. RIRDC has just published the results of a seven year trial of the cultivation and harvesting! of native foods in south east Australia which demonstrates that foods like native limes quandongs and riberries can be grown commercially in several locations. As part of this report we have produced a series of information sheets on the key native foods which can be used to help educate growers and potential growers about market requirements and post harvest handling. They will also be an important tool for educating consumers about native foods what they are what they look like and most importantly what they taste like. As the industry gathers in Melbourne it is important that it looks to the future and how it will address the challenges ahead. R D will clearly be vital Ms Saunders said. A Native Food Showcase will be held at Federation Square in Melbourne on Sunday followed by the industry summit on Monday.
