Transport and infrastructure are critical not only to the future viability of Queensland’s agriculture sector, but also to all sectors and industries that contribute to the Queensland economy.Well maintained and enhanced transport and freight infrastructure is vital to strengthening agricultural supply chains while also ensuring the safety of regional Queenslanders reliant on these roads.In the lead up to the election, QFF is urging political parties to commit to a long term, strategic approach to investing in vital transport and logistics infrastructure to enable a strong future for agriculture and regional communities.Failure to plan, prioritise and invest to support Queensland’s growing and changing freight task will compromise the future efficiency of agricultural supply chains and negatively impact the sector’s economic outcomes.Key infrastructure such as the Bruce Highway, the Bremer Bridge, as well as the vast network of local roads managed by local government, are incredibly important to farmers across the state.Read this week's President's Column below 👇bit.ly/3BHoytd#fixthebruce#qldagriculture#qldfarmers...
