🚢 The future of Australian agricultural exports is in the spotlight this week, in the lead up to the 2025 Federal Election and in the wake of recent tariff decisions from the United States.Currently approximately 70 percent of Australia’s agricultural production is exported and is worth around $80 billion to our economy.As a sector, we are experienced in the export space and primary producers are no strangers to trade risks and opportunities, well aware that protectionism and punitive trade policies have the potential for real impacts on their businesses.While the international trade policy situation continues to unfold, it is important to remain focused on what we need to do domestically as well as internationally to build a strong future for agriculture. Australian policymakers need to be thinking about the impacts their decisions are having on Australia’s potential as an agricultural exporter and work closely with industry to ensure we are putting the right policies in place, and not kicking an own goal right here at home.Read more in our President's Column below 👇 bit.ly/4kPXlqq...
