On behalf of AOL, we’d like to congratulate the winners of the 8th Australian Organic Industry Awards!
Our Awards Ceremony was held at Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley on Friday 25 November, with the winners spanning an impressive and diverse range of certified organic products from fresh produce, dairy and meat, to pantry items and pharmaceutical ingredients.
AOL Chief Executive Officer, Niki Ford, said the Awards were an opportunity to recognise excellence and diversity within organics, and applauded the winners for their contribution to the nation’s $2 billion industry.
“The standard of these awards continues to reach new heights, and this year’s winners demonstrate innovation and leadership within the organic sector and how it continues to progress and evolve,” Ms Ford said.
“It has also been encouraging to witness, particularly in the individual categories, many winners choosing a career in organics, or to implement it in their business, as they have seen both the environmental and economic benefits of organic production.
“It is clear from the winners’ applications they are making a significant impact not just on their businesses, but also the broader industry, while also contributing to the national economy and the wellbeing of Australians and international customers.”
Winners for the 2022 Awards were announced live on Friday 25 November, in a celebration at Crowne Plaza in the NSW Hunter Valley, with organic operators, media and local dignitaries in attendance. See below for pictures from our Awards Ceremony.
