Expressions of Interest are open to establish eID Producer Groups

Expressions of Interest are open for regionally-based South Australian Producer Groups looking to upskill their capabilities with the implementation of mandatory electronic identification (eID) for sheep and farmed goats.

Producer Groups will offer a supportive learning environment and an opportunity for sheep and goat producers to learn from experts and each other about how eID technologies and data-collection can improve productivity, efficiency and profitability in their businesses.

Funding of up to $20,000 (ex GST) is available to cover costs of eligible activities undertaken by each group.

Applications must be made as a group and each eID Producer Group must appoint a facilitator. The facilitator will be responsible for co-ordinating activities, reporting progress and outcomes to PIRSA and ensuring all data collection is undertaken. Applications close on 12 February 2025.

Visit the PIRSA website to read the Guidelines and apply: https://www.pir.sa.gov.au/funding/eid_producer_groups_expression_of_interest

If you have any questions about eligibility or establishing an eID Producer Group, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
