The Guide to Researching Agricultural Markets for Recycled Organics Products has been developed by the Recycled Organics Unit.

A step-by-step guide to the identification, evaluation and quantitative estimation of regional agricultural/horticultural markets for composts to enable prioritisation of viable market opportunities by recycled organics enterprises. The document provides:

  • Example surveys for growers;
  • A framework for communication of value to growers;
  • Use of farm budget studies; and,
  • Criteria for evaluating potential market viability, with summary tables of vegetable, orchard and broadacre potential viability in NSW.

Developed in direct consultation with regional grower groups, NSW DPI district horticulturalists and commercial compost production industry.
