Yenda Producers gala to share stage with national agricultural roundtable

08 July 2025

As Yenda Producers Co-operative celebrates 100 years of service to regional farming communities, the July 25 centenary will be marked by more than just a gala dinner. The national spotlight turns to Griffith as it hosts the BCCM’s National Agricultural Co-operatives Roundtable, a biannual forum bringing together leaders from across the agribusiness spectrum, including SunRice, the Almond Board and government representatives.

Themed “co-operative life cycle – case studies of grower-led icons,” the forum will explore the challenges and innovations shaping Australian agriculture. With attendees from across the country, the day includes farm tours, industry networking, and conversations about how co-ops are adapting.

Yenda Producers Co-operative will host the event, with a forum to take place in the afternoon before the Yenda Gala Dinner to celebrate the centenary.
