LIBRARY

We support the development of the industry by promoting the benefits of new grape varieties, mechanisation and trellis drying.
Welcome to the Dried Fruits Australia digital library.
The library gives DFA members access to dried grape industry knowledge and information, accumulated over several decades.
Here you will find hundreds of reports, research papers, best practice information sheets, books, and past issues of the Vine magazine and its predecessor Dried Fruits News.
Use the search bar or category buttons below to find the information you need.
