Australian fresh produce importers and exporters met with government representatives at the Australian Horticultural Exporter’s Association (AHEA) AGM and industry forum on 24 August.

Members used the AGM to vote to change the association’s name to Australian Horticultural Exporters’ and Importers’ Association (AHEIA), in order to better reflect its bilateral focus.

Members also voted in the existing board of directors, along with two new Executive Committee Directors; Prudence Barker of BGP International Pty Ltd, in Melbourne, and David Hooper of Harvest Moon, in Tasmania.

AHEIA Chairman Joseph Saina, welcomed the new directors and thanked the board, CEO and members for their contribution and ongoing commitment to Australia’s A$1.7bn fresh produce import and export trade.
