Australia–China Agricultural Cooperation Agreement 2020
The Australian Government is inviting applications through an open competitive process to deliver projects and trade missions under the Australia-China Agricultural Cooperation Agreement (ACACA) 2020 (the program). The program operates under a treaty-level agreement between the Australian and Chinese governments. The agreement was signed in 1984 to enhance cooperation across agricultural industries, develop the trading relationship and provide a forum for the mutual exchange of scientific information between the two countries.
The program is ongoing and advertises a grant opportunity (funding round) every calendar year, or twice in a calendar year where funding permits.
The beneficiaries of the ACACA grant opportunity are Australian agriculture, fisheries, meat, forestry, regulatory, biosecurity and food safety industries, organisations, businesses and individuals, including their respective industry or sectors, who are seeking to enhance cooperation between Australia and China.
There are two funding streams available:
Stream 1 must be for an eligible project activity undertaken in Australia and/or China.
Stream 2 must be for a trade mission to China only
