delicious. and Harvey Norman have partnered for the sixth consecutive year to present the 2024 delicious. Harvey Norman Produce Awards.
For the past 19 years, the Produce Awards have set the standard for local produce and focused on the country’s best producers who grow, cultivate, harvest, and catch the produce supplied to Australia’s leading chefs and hospitality venues.
Krysia Bonkowski, editor-in-chief of delicious., said: “There is no other program like the delicious. Harvey Norman Produce Awards. For the past 19 years, it’s shone a light on the unsung heroes of the Australian food industry, and each year it continues to unearth new producers who are pushing that bar ever higher.
“None of this would be possible without the dedication and stewardship of our naming rights partner Harvey Norman, Gerry Harvey and our stellar line-up of state and national judges. The high calibre of this year’s entrants is proof that the future of Australia’s food industry is in safe hands.”
Harvey, the executive chairman of Harvey Norman, said: “Harvey Norman is proud to be naming rights partner of the delicious. Produce Awards as it celebrates 19 successful years.
“As the awards nears its 20th anniversary, we can applaud the Australian food production industry for continuing to nurture and develop new, world-class talent. Every year builds on the success of the year prior.
“Congratulations to all the nominees, and thank you to Krysia, the delicious. editorial team and the extraordinary judging panel of chefs – this year’s line-up is exceptional.”
A national judging panel comprising some of Australia’s most renowned chefs – Alla Wolf-Tasker, Andrew McConnell, Danielle Alvarez, Jo Barrett, Josh Niland, Karena Armstrong, Lennox Hastie, Matt Moran, Matt Stone and Peter Gilmore – will decide the ultimate 2024 trophy winners and producer of the year.
