Benefits
The availability of a QP/QI infrastructure encourages a market-driven approach to the supply of QI capability and capacity that directly links the current operations and future planning to the national strategies and regional demands for quality produce and products.
A cohesive, relevant and cost-effective QP/QI system allows government to provide appropriate and targeted, ongoing support, including funding, whose impact on supporting national priorities is much easier to assess.
The QP/QI monitoring and review activities that are created can be used to identify gaps and areas for future improvement, including the formulation of new QI-related projects.
