Capital requirements of Australia’s agriculture, fisheries and forestry sector combined a review of historical data with economic modelling to develop an understanding of how investment levels contribute to sector growth, what barriers exist and how these could be overcome.
The report found an annual investment of $8.7 billion is required to meet the NFF’s target and grow the annual value of Australia’s agriculture, fisheries and forestry sector from just over $63 billion to $100 billion. This investment is needed to underpin a significant step change in productivity, price and market share.
