The Almond Board of Australia ( ABA ) is the peak representative body for the Australian almond industry and as such addresses many issues that impact on all participants in the industry including growers , processors and marketers and those who supply inputs .
These impacts can be positives such as free trade agreements or promotion to stimulate demand and hence prices or they can involve minimising negative situations such as food safety issues , market access problems , chemical registrations etc .
