POTATO
MECHANISATION
About the project
The new Hort Innovation-funded project Mechanisation R&D and demonstration for the Australian Potato Industry (PT25003), delivered by Applied Horticultural Research (AHR), will identify promising near-commercial technologies and test how they perform under real-world Australian conditions.
It will put cutting-edge potato AgTech to the test on commercial farms, with technologies like precision planters, optical grading and autonomous field equipment to show growers what actually works before they invest. Growers and industry members are invited to register their interest in being involved.
We want to hear from you!
Are you a grower, processor, contractor, or machinery dealer looking to reduce labour and input costs, and lift productivity?
The Potato Mechanisation Project is just in its early stages and is currently taking “Expressions of Interest” for involvement in the project. They want to hear which production pain points you’d most like technology to solve!
Your input shapes what gets trialled.
Have your say in the 10-min consultation (digital submission or over the phone), or submit an expression of interest.
