The horticulture markets in Queensland received a strong boost to their supply chains recently after a AUD$30 million warehouse and business park were delivered to the area, it has been reported.
"The growth of Queensland's horticulture sector increased the need for a larger, more efficient storage facility located in the Brisbane Markets complex," Primary Industries and Fisheries minister Tim Mulherin told Bluescountry.com.
"This new development will support the entire Queensland horticulture industry which delivers its produce daily to Brisbane Markets."
Such investment represents the importance of creating an effective supply chain network and the money it can save businesses, as despite the large commitment of AUD$30 million, the benefits of the state-of-the-art warehouse project are likely to be massive.
"It's an important achievement for Queensland, which currently contributes AUD$1.94 billion in horticulture to the state's economy, making it our second-largest primary producer," Mulherin added.
