AGM election update

ACTA’s 2023 AGM was held on Thursday 23rd November at The Park Hyatt, Sydney. Elections were held for the 2024 ACTA Committee. A delicious three course luncheon, stunning views across to the Opera House all made for a brilliant day. A fabulous networking event!

As is often the case, the Members who attended represented the full cross section of the Australian Coffee Industry; including roasters and traders, espresso machine importers, packaging, publishing, logistics and freight forwarding as well as new members joining ACTA from the traceability sector.

Thanks to our expert industry speakers.  ACTA was very pleased to welcome 3 senior representatives from the Dept of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) who addressed some of the key concerns of Members relative to biosecurity delays and the requirement for phytosanitary certificates on coffee samples (not vaccum packed).   An interactive and interesting Q&A session took place.

A summary was provided of ACTA’s key activities over the year, and the Association’s ongoing focus on remaining the leading voice of all sectors involved in the fascinating Australian coffee industry.

Thanks were also given to the Committee Members who selflessly continue to make the effort and time for the coffee industry at large.
