RASV acknowledges the 2020 RASV Committee and Industry Advisory Group members

The Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria (RASV) is a not-for-profit organisation, supported and guided by several advisory groups and committees.

The members of these groups are experts in their industry and help to shape and develop a vibrant calendar of activities, events and competitions, including food and drink award programs, on-farm events, agricultural competitions and Victoria’s largest and most iconic annual community event, the Royal Melbourne Show.
