The Victorian government is encouraging people to support local farmers and producers in the leadup to Christmas.
Victoria’s agricultural minister Gayle Tierney visited Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Market, meeting growers amongst the hustle and bustle of Christmas trading.
Ms Tierney says buying local this Christmas will help flood-ravaged farming communities despite devastating flood damage to parts of rural Victoria.
The state boasts quality produce including cheese, wine, ham and fresh fruit.
The state government has committed more than $3 billion to its food and fibre industry over the last eight years including a further $12.5 million in flood assistance.
