What is the President's Medal competition?

The President’s Medal is the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW’s highest honour for food and beverage excellence, recognising Australia’s most outstanding producers.

Eligibility begins with success at the Sydney Royal competitions, where Champion and Trophy winners across key categories are identified as best in class.

From there, the President’s Medal goes further, evaluating the entire business behind the product, from gate to plate, including sustainability, governance and long-term resilience.
