SOUTH EAST PREMIUM WHEAT GROWERS ASSOCIATION
Aim
The South East Premium Wheat Growers Association (SEPWA) is a non-profit grower group that was established in 1993. The group was formed to address the perception that wheat from the south east was of inferior quality to that of wheat from other regions. The group has moved on since this original aim but still strongly retains it as part of its major objectives. SEPWA is now one of the biggest grower groups in Australia.
SEPWA’s role now is to “promote profitable, sustainable and quality grain production in the Esperance Port Zone” through facilitation of research, education and extension, liaison and partnerships with industry, communication with members and varietal improvement.
SEPWA’s objectives are:
1. To develop grain products and production systems that assist growers the EPZ to maximise their profitability. This objective will be achieved by managing research projects to develop profitable grain production systems.
2. To provide clear market signals to growers that reward innovation and quality. This objective will be achieved by sharing knowledge to assist uptake of innovation and technology.
3. To achieve financial security to sustain SEPWA efforts by demonstrating value to our partners / members. This objective will be achieved by managing partners to maximise funding and value returned.
4. SEPWA will drive value into the regional brand/image of our grains. This objective will be achieved by professionally managing the business of SEPWA and provide advocacy and leadership to strengthen the brand for our grains.
