Presidents Christmas Message

As the year comes to an end everyone has lots to be thankful for. Yes, it has been an interesting year in Agriculture with many challenges; floods, fires, ban on live export, weather affecting harvest for soft commodities both positively and negatively, a high Australian dollar, shortage in skilled labour for the industry, a contentious MDBP, and the resource and agriculture sector learning how to coexist together. Agriculture has always worked within challenges, we are lucky to be in a country that prospers even in times of adversity. Globally we are in a unique position to help feed the ever growing world population. Corporations see a positive future in agriculture with new developments starting to emerge. Agribusiness in Australia has a bright future. This Christmas, on behalf of the Agribusiness Association of Australia I would like to wish all of you the time for a moment of peace to be able to reflect and be thankful.  Have a wonderful, safe and Merry Christmas.  

 

Sincerely

Dr. Theresa M Craig

President

Agribusiness Association of Australia
