Food North: An economic analysis and commercial assessment of a commercial-scale shelf-stable food manufacturing facility based in the Darwin region

The objectives of this funding are

1. . Identification of the shelf-stable manufacturing technologies to be modelled.
2. Determine the scale of production required for commercial viability of shelf-stable food manufacturing.
3. Delivery of conceptual designs and plans for expansion of a
commercial-scale operation from a pilot-facility footprint.
4. Establish an equipment inventory list for the proposed facility.
5. Establish the stand-up cost for a commercial-scale facility.
6. Estimation of the operational costs per unit volume of production.
7. Estimation of prospective price points for proposed product types produced.
8. Estimation of the break-even benchmarks for commercial
production.
9. Estimate the wider macro-economic benefits to NT primary
production.
10. Estimate the macro-economic benefits to the NT economy
