Strategic plan

AOF Strategic Plan 2015

The AOF’s strategic plan provides a roadmap for industry to grow from its current value of $2.5 billion to $3.3 billion by 2015. It serves as an update to the comprehensive plan developed in 2005.  

Prepared against the background of developments in global and domestic food, feed and industrial sectors, the AOF plan takes into account the impacts on demand from traditional food and emerging non-food uses and the changing supply base.

During the coming years, AOF will put in motion programs that create industry value through creating diversity, encouraging innovation and achieving excellence.  The programs are geared towards market preference through value add in production, quality and reliability as the platform to realising increased value, growth and production. 

Opportunities for growth include:

  • replacement of hard fats driven by the demand for healthier oils
  • replacement of imported protein meals and improved value of local meals
  • increased market penetration through improved product quality
  • development of new export markets and uses for Australian oilseeds and products including new health and functionality oils; industrial products; new food products
