The Farm Business Resilience Program is open to papaya growers in the Wet Tropics Coast and on the Tablelands, The Farm Business Resilience Program offers free, confidential support to help growers identify and minimise risks to their farming operation by providing support to produce a tailored Farm Business Resilience Plan.

- 25% con-contribution grant of up to $50k for dams, bores, water tanks, irrigation/fertigation infrastructure
