Abstract

The Grains IFS collects funds from producers to address biosecurity pest and disease threats relevant to and determined by the WA grains/seed/hay industry. The current IFS contribution rate of 0.25 cents per tonne of grain and seed, and 0.125 cents per tonne of hay, is applied to the first sale of produce grown in the agricultural areas of WA in 2023-24. Grains IFS contributions fund the:

1. Skeleton Weed Control Program (SKW).

2. Three Horned Bedstraw Eradication Program.

3. Research and Development (R&D) – Research grants and programs to improve the effectiveness and/ or efficiency of the IFS-funded programs, as well as to build the capacity of WA producers to address these threats on farms.

4. Future Incursions – Funds may also be used to manage potential future incursions of other pests/ diseases if identified as a priority or emerging concern.
