As global events continue to influence the cost and availability of key farm inputs such as fuel, fertiliser and plastics, Australian Banana Growers’ Council (ABGC) is committed to ensuring our advocacy reflects the real challenges and opportunities facing growers. 

To support this, we are continuing our work with an ABGC Member Pulse Check; a short, single-question, regular survey delivered via SMS. Designed to be quick and easy to complete, the Pulse Check will help us gather timely feedback on the issues that matter most to members. By conducting the survey regularly, we will be able to track changes over time and identify emerging trends across the industry. 

Each survey will consist of just one question with a multiple choice/one-word response. Your reply will provide valuable insights into current cost pressures, supply chain challenges and other priority concerns affecting banana businesses. The more growers who participate, the stronger our evidence base becomes when advocating on behalf of the industry with decision makers. 

Whether you’re experiencing significant cost increases, facing supply constraints, or seeing opportunities for improvement, we want to hear from you. Your feedback will help ensure ABGC is having your back with issues that matter most to the banana industry.  

Member Incentive 

To thank members for their participation, growers who respond to all three survey questions will be entered into a draw to win a $50 voucher. 

Privacy and Use of Responses 

Your feedback helps ABGC better understand the issues affecting growers and strengthen our advocacy on your behalf. All responses will be combined and reported as industry-wide insights, with individual responses kept confidential.
