Welcome
to Olives South Australia Incorporated
Olives South Australia Inc (OSA) is the peak industry body representing olive growers in South Australia. OSA is a "participating state body" of the Australian Olive Association (AOA). In 2007 the National olive industry underwent a structural reorganisation which has seen all other states become branches of the national body (AOA). Whilst Olives SA acts like a branch and is bound to the AOA by way of a "memorandum of understanding", we retain our constitution.
The AOA is made up of 6 Directors from the olive growing states, nominated by that State, plus 3 Directors from the Large Enterprise Group. Our State Director for South Australia is Lisa Rowntree.
Our vision is to ensure that OSA leads a profitable, sustainable and united olive industry.
The Board of Olives SA comprises representatives from each of the 8 identified olive growing regions in South Australia, along with representatives at various times from Primary Industries SA, Rural Solutions SA and the Adelaide University.
The object of Olives South Australia Inc is to:
-
Interact with the South Australian Government on behalf of the olive industry in South Australia.
-
Identify and recommend Research & Development projects to the Australian Olive Association (AOA) Research & Development Committee.
-
Support the aims and objectives of the AOA in South Australia.
