Need

1.In Australia’s public R&D institutions, there are very few scientists with experience in seafood processing, packaging, new product development and retailing. As a consequence, most seafood processing companies import their staff or use staff from other food industries.
2.There is very little public R&D support for seafood processors wishing to start new ventures, develop new products, install new machinery or solve processing problems.

Objectives

1. Work with seafood processing companies linked to CRC participants and assist with identification of opportunities for new product development and new approaches to processing.
2. Solve problems associated with processing
3. Assist companies to reduce the risk when establishing new processing initiatives
4. Contribute to significantly improving the presentation of seafood at retail and food service levels
5. Function as a leader and change agent in the national seafood processing sector.
