The
Recycled Organics Unit has developed a number of tools to
assist the composting industry in developing agricultural
markets for recycled organics products.
The
following agricultural tools have been developed by the Recycled
Organics Unit:
Guide to Researching

A step-by-step guide to the identification, evaluation and quantitative
estimation of regional agricultural/horticultural markets for

by recycled organics enterprises. The document provides:
Example surveys for growers (appendix 4);
A framework for communication of value to growers (page

Use of farm budget studies; and,
Criteria for evaluating potential market viability, with
summary tables of vegetable, orchard and broadacre potential
viability in NSW (section 3.3).
