Banana growers and affiliate members are invited to join ABGC for an important industry update and Q&A in Innisfail (in-person only) at 5.30pm on Wednesday 2nd September 2026.

TR4 and the current biosecurity assessment for fresh banana imports from the Philippines are two of the biggest issues facing our industry. This forum is an opportunity for growers to hear the latest, understand how ABGC is responding, and put their questions to industry leaders.

Joining the discussion will be:

• Paul Inderbitzin – Chair, Banana Imports Committee
• Leon Collins – Chair, Australian Banana Growers’ Council
• Leanne Erakovic – CEO, Australian Banana Growers’ Council

Topics will include:

• The latest on the Philippines banana import application and ABGC’s response
• What growers need to know about TR4
• Q&A – your opportunity to raise questions

All banana growers in the region are encouraged to support a united industry position moving forward on these issues. Show your support by attending the forum. You can also help by becoming an ABGC member and contributing to the Banana Imports Fighting Fund if you aren’t already.
