PRESIDENT'S HIGHLIGHTS
Perth Royal Food Awards
RASWA Youth in Agriculture
Next Gen
The PRFA has come through the recent
COVID 19 period in great shape, with
nation-wide producer and industry
support ensuring the Awards continue
to shine. As we move into 2022 the PRFA
competition and awards programme
will continue to grow and provide both
producer and consumer value.
During 2021, RASWA was very pleased
to announce a significant two-year
partnership with Harvest Road, a leading
Perth Agribusiness. Harvest Road have
agreed to provide support for the RAS
Youth in Agriculture Portfolio.
In 2021 a subcommittee of RASWA
was formed. This committee is called
NEXTGEN WA, their membership is
targeted at 18 to 35 year-olds who have
a passion for agriculture and supporting
the agricultural show movement.
Education and Redevelopment
Volunteers
Agricultural Hall of Fame
Agriculture based education is integral
to the core purpose of the Royal
Agricultural Society and we currently do
this through the Perth Royal Show and
Perth Royal Food Awards. As part of the
Showground redevelopment we will look
to integrate education into future plans.
Volunteers are critical to stage the Perth
Royal Show, as without them the Show
would not be possible. Congratulations
to Lynda Landers, 2021 Volunteer of the
Show – Committee Member and Chief
Steward for Flower Section – and John
Wither, Volunteer of the Year. John was
involved in the Perth Royal Wine Show
and the Cattle Lanes at the Perth Royal
Show in 2021 and out of show with office
administration tasks throughout 2021.
2021 Inductee Dr Graham Crosbie was
a worthy selection. Western Australia is
the major world supplier of specialised
wheats for the Japanese and Korean
udon noodle market and Graham
Crosbie is recognised as the driving
force behind it.
