Olive Producers (NE Vic) Inc

Dear Olive Enthusiast/Professional/ Producer,

Olive Producers of North East Victoria, (OPNEV) takes great pleasure in inviting you and your olive business to participate in the 10th Australian Golden Olive Awards.

The Australian Golden Olive Awards was one of the earliest shows in Australia and this 10th anniversary represents a true milestone in the olive industry in Australia.

OPNEV, whilst being a regional association, is keen to promote olive products Australia-wide for the mutual benefit of all industry stakeholders, whether they be large companies or the smaller family business. We believe it is important to encourage the continuing development of olive products across our continent and to provide a vehicle whereby the best in our industry are given due acknowledgement and public profile.

This prestigious competition for Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Table Fruit and Packaging will allow participants from all over Australia to benchmark their products against the very best. A low cost show, held in high regard by the industry, the Australian Golden Olive Awards also provides Free Fatty Acid and Peroxide testing on your oil and for the first time this year, microbiological tests on your table olives from fully accredited laboratories, with results provided to you.

The 10th Australian Golden Olives Awards culminates in the Celebration Dinner, to be held at the Pickled Sisters at Cofield Winery in Wahgunyah, North East Victoria on Saturday 12 September 2009. This is a fun night and features the finest food and wine of North East Victoria. There will be entertainment and the presentation of awards and trophies.

Drought has affected and continues to affect so many regions and so many agricultural activities and products across Australia. Olive producers, like all others engaged in agricultural pursuits are very resilient and the feedback coming in from the 2009 harvest is extremely encouraging.

I encourage you to participate in this exciting competition and look forward to catching up in Rutherglen and Wahgunyah.

President
