New Study: Australia Agribusiness Report Q1 2016

Australia's agribusiness sector enjoys great characteristics and will see its exports grow in the coming years, driven by the rise in production, its reputation as a reliable exporter of sage and quality products and strong external demand. However, the sector's future success will be somewhat held back by rising production costs and profitability issues which are weighting on the outlook for production, in the upstream dairy sector for example. Moreover, the country's vulnerability to extreme weather events will grow in the coming years with climate change, making agricultural production even more volatile. Finally, Australia has to face rising competition coming from lower-cost producers which aim at supplying the attractive markets in Asia and the Middle East.

Australia signed a number of trade deals with key importing countries, including the Trans Pacific Partnership, which will help its competitiveness remain satisfactory in some markets. Apart from maintaining its efforts to remain competitive in emerging markets, Australia will also need to step up investment in some parts of its supply chain in order to improve its competitiveness and reach a new level of innovation, efficiencies and exports.

Key Forecasts

Beef production growth to 2018/19: -13.1% to 2.2mn tonnes. The negative growth over our forecast period is mainly due to high base effects (production reached a record in 2013/14) and because output will decrease over the 2015-2017 as farmers rebuild their herds.
