Riverland
The Riverland Regional Program has identified major priorities for the region in:
- improving production competitiveness and sustainability
- increasing water use efficiency as defined by ML/tonne of grapes produced
- mitigating the influence of climate change and the impacts on grape maturity, quality, water availability and irrigation requirements, and
- ensuring producers have access to the latest technologies to improve production and reduce labour and input costs.
The Riverland Regional Program Annual Operating plan focuses on:
- improving water use efficiency to meet the combined threats of availability, cost, and increased demand, and
- increasing competitiveness by reducing production costs through more efficient management of pests and disease, uptake of new technologies, improving productivity and growing appropriate varieties for the region’s climatic conditions
A technical library on the Riverland Wine website has been released to provide growers with quick and easy access to a wide range of viticultural information.
