Title:
Infrastructure and Australia's food industry: Preliminary economic assessment
Series:

Series Issue:

Description:
In 2011-12, Australia's food exports were $30 billion or 12 per cent of total merchandise exports. Preliminary ABARES projections indicate that world agrifood consumption and imports are likely to increase markedly to 2050, with relatively strong growth in food demand in the Asian region. Ongoing research in ABARES is examining the outlook for the world agrifood market to 2050 and assessing the implications for Australia's food exports. This study is a preliminary assessment of infrastructure and Australia's food industry with a focus on: * identifying issues that may affect the pattern of agricultural production in Australia and the implications for infrastructure requirements * examining impediments to private provision of infrastructure that would support growth in Australia's agrifood industry. The focus in this study is on the role of economic infrastructure-transport, water, energy and telecommunications facilities-in the future development of Australia's food industry. This study identifies key possible research directions for future work that would assess impediments to infrastructure and identify policy response options that would support growth in Australia's food production and processing industry.
