Yamatji Fresh Produce was established as a horticultural joint venture between Yamatji Enterprises Limited (YEL), Indigenous Business Australia (IBA) and 4 Ways Fresh.

Located at Bootenal near Geraldton, the project was established to develop commercial horticultural operations on land owned by YEL and IBA, with the aim of generating economic benefits and employment opportunities for Yamatji people.

The partners have since commenced an orderly wind-down of the joint venture. The termination of the existing lease arrangements represented an important milestone in this process, with the formal liquidation being progressed separately.

YEL and IBA are now exploring future opportunities for the horticultural landholdings and associated infrastructure, with a focus on identifying commercially sustainable uses that generate long-term benefits for the Yamatji Nation.

The next stage will involve an Expression of Interest (EOI) process to identify suitable operators and potential commercial partners interested in making productive use of the existing facilities and land.

YSRC remains committed to ensuring these strategic assets are managed responsibly, with a focus on creating sustainable economic and employment opportunities for Yamatji people.
