A host of WA agrifood and beverage businesses have received a sweetener from the State Government to help them grow their ventures. The State Government’s Agrifood and Beverage Voucher program has selected 57 businesses to share in the latest round of funding worth more than $430,000. One of the businesses is Sweeter Banana in the Gascoyne who will receive $7050 to develop their new brand development plan. The program aims to support businesses to take their enterprise to the next level. Over the past five years, the program has backed 134 WA businesses, which have leveraged more than $1.2 million in industry investment. Agriculture and Food Minister Jackie Jarvis said the voucher program supported businesses with “professional advice to improve their skills, knowledge and confidence to evolve their operations and capture growth opportunities.” “I am excited to see such a great response to this round, with a diverse range of businesses from the Kimberley to the South Coast, looking to invest in strengthening operations, supporting innovation and growing aspirations,” she said.
