What
In Australia, Agricultural, fishery, and forestry production reeled in $93 billion in 2022, contributing 2.4% to GDP and making up 2.5% of employment. Despite historical success in the sector, it is now anticipated that agricultural revenue will go through a downturn. The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry forecasts a 14% dip to $80 billion in 2023-2024. It attributes the decline to El Nino and the Indian Ocean Dipole, which will likely result in lower crop yields.
Adding to the agricultural woes, are falling prices of agricultural commodities across the globe. Accordingly, agricultural exports are anticipated to decline 17% next year. Agtech is therefore primed to facilitate growth in the Australian agricultural sector.
The Australian Farm Institute is looking to emerging technology to provide a potential revenue bump for the industry. It projects that Australian agricultural revenue could grow by $20-billion – around 25% – each year if digital tools are adopted widely.
