Australia-China Agricultural Technical Cooperation Program
The 2008-09 funding round is now closed.
Proposals submitted under the 2008-09 funding round have been assessed. Applicants have been advised on the outcome of the round.
The establishment of the ATC Program follows Australia's commitment to China in 2005 to investigate a mechanism for further agricultural cooperation with China.
The ATC Program seeks to strengthen the already close relationship between Australia and China in agriculture and related areas. It aims to provide an opportunity for Australia to share its expertise and capacity in areas relevant to China’s needs such as in agricultural development, supply chain management, quarantine management, rural adjustment and environmental management.
The ATC Program seeks to build capacity in Chinese government agencies and industry officials to produce outcomes closely linked with areas of Australian interest in agricultural trade with China, and address issues relevant to both Australia and China to further strengthen the bilateral relationship.
The program is not intended to support activities that could be funded through programs run by other Australian Government agencies.
The Program Coordinator at the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry can be contacted by emailing ATC or phoning +61 2 6272 3712 for further information.
