She said: “The decision to leave AFGC has been very difficult but I am confident it is in good hands and will continue to professionally and proactively represent the industry, working with government and other stakeholders to ensure the industry has a bright future and consumers continue to have access to high quality, sustainable, healthy and affordable food and grocery brands that they know and trust.”
Carnell will leave the AFGC at the end of March. The council’s board is set to look at potential candidates for her successor.
