P.PSH.1097 - PIFT - Stage 2 Producer Innovation Fast-Track Program - Stream 2: New Products and Value Chains

Summary
The Producer Innovation Fast Track pilot program aims to accelerate producer capability for innovation and adoption. This project is for a program participant in the New Food Products stream. Stage 1 of the DSSA project identified that the value chain for prime Dorper lamb can be redesigned using digital commerce and consumer feedback to iteratively improve the value proposition. This project will validate the willingness of the market to pay a premium through a new digital marketplace that harnesses social media combined with a shortened value chain to capture greater value for the producer.
