PCA has more than 40 years of experience providing relevant and practical services to businesses in the protected cropping industry. As the peak representative industry body, we strive to keep our growers profitable and to provide allied trade and other industry partners with opportunities to grow with the industry.

We know our industry. We know that no day is the same.

PCA members represent the most advanced and productive growers across Australia. They invest in PCA membership for better business confidence.

As a grower, you wear many different hats – horticulturist, sales manager, team leader, meteorology expert, product inspector and/or marketing specialist.

You know compliance is vitally important, but it’s hard to stay on track with the constant changes to industrial relations laws, the latest spray and pesticide regulations, and best farm business practices.

As an allied trader or other industry partner, you want to be linked to the leading growers in the industry, and to have the opportunity to network and keep abreast of the leading edge of changes in the industry.

As a PCA member, you don’t need to worry about where to find the most up to date information, it’s provided to you. Simply choose your level of membership and relax knowing you are not alone.
