In order for native produice to be properly incorporated into the Austrlaian consciousness, it needs to be made official and marketed, from top to bortom. While there is a lot of local, regional and even national enthusiasm for taking bush produce out of the amateur and into the official realms there has not yet been a federal, centralised push or body to cover everything required to prodice and market the area properly - despite a number of reports from the mid-90s onwards recommending just that (eg databases, bodies, etc).
Recent media reports suggest that this situation is changing.
This page covers the media reports dealing with the changes, and lists the official organisations formed or being formed to deal with native produce.
