October 25, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Queensland Rural and Industry Development Authority (QRIDA) is celebrating 25 years of supporting rural and regional Queensland.<\/p>\n

Agriculture Minister\u00a0Mark Furner said on Friday more than $3.6 billion has been invested in Queensland agriculture in the 25 years since QRIDA – and its predecessor QRAA – were established but there was plenty more to be done in regional Queensland.<\/p>\n

Almost 93,000 clients had been helped to establish and expand their businesses, or recover from natural disasters.<\/p>\n

Mr Furner said more than $1 billion in low-interest loans for Queensland farmers had been approved through the Primary Industry Productivity Enhancement Scheme to assist new entrants into agriculture and to build long-term productivity and sustainability.<\/p>\n

Another $865 million has been delivered in disaster recovery grants and loans to help primary producers, small businesses and non-profit organisations to get back on their feet after cyclones, floods, fires and other natural disasters.<\/p>\n

\u201cQRIDA has had strong support from successive governments over its 25-year history and that\u2019s because the organisation has always been strongly focused on dedicated service delivery for Queensland agriculture,\u201d Mr Furner said.<\/p>\n

During the past five years, First Start Loans to help new entrants into agriculture have increased from $650,000 to $2 million, and\u00a0close to $3 million was approved in Farm Management Grants to help families with farm succession planning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
