Australian policies on agriculture are currently being reviewed by the federal government and a White Paper is set for completion in 2015 in order to provide a new policy platform for the sector. An Issues paper and an Agricultural Competitiveness Green Paper have already been released. The Green Paper is the Government’s assessment of opportunities for improving agricultural competitiveness and provides an overview of policy options in a range of areas such as foreign investment, drought, biosecurity and education and training. There were over 700 submissions on the review from farmers, industry, business and the community to the Green Paper. A White Paper will now be prepared for release in 2015 and submissions from interested stakeholders can be made to the Agricultural Competitiveness Taskforce. Individuals and organizations are encouraged to comment on the Green Paper by making submissions before 5 pm December 12th (9 am EST December 13th). The report considers Australian agriculture and the key issues discussed in the policy review.
