Coal River Products Association
The Coal River Products Association is a group representing farmers working in the Coal River Valley in southeast Tasmania. The valley supports production of many products including peas, cereals, grapes, vegetable (mainly lettuces and vegetables for seeds), stone fruits (cherries and aoricots), lucerne, olives and walnuts. The valley also supports farming for sheep and cattle. The group has been instrumental in developing best practice and innovative farming practices within Tasmania. This was one of the early areas to invest heavily in irrigation.
