#ausag industry has lost trust with Labour federal government. Food & fibre isn’t a central part of their agenda. @NationalFarmers & @farmer_dj on the front foot. Unfortunately @MurrayWatt couldn’t stay to listen… #NFF23 #auspol #agchatoz – at Canberra, Australian Capital Territory
The @AlboMP government needs to understand that Ag, energy and climate policies intersect - but we will not get our ag land back once we lose it or our communities ! @CANEGROWERS - @tanya_plibersek @Bowenchris northqueenslandregister.com.… – at Canberra, Australian Capital Territory
While there are some profound policy disagreements between @NationalFarmers and the @AlboMP government at the moment it’s really commendable that @MurrayWatt spoke to the #nff2023 #australiatotheworld conference today to make the case and keep the conversation going @farmer_dj

You need to take a step back and recognise important moments in life and seeing Fiona Simson farewell @NationalFarmers is one of those - the most impressive leader I have seen in my career @afsnsw and can hold the attention of any room – at Canberra, Australian Capital Territory

Attempts to land a trade deal with Europe have stalled overnight, with Australia rejecting the latest 🇪🇺 proposal. 👏 to Trade Minister Don Farrell for holding firm on a better deal for Aussie farmers. Full statement by our CEO @tonymahar here. #auspol nff.org.au/media-release/sta…

Tomorrow is D-Day for fire ant eradication!
Federal & state Ag Ministers meet in Perth to decide on the future $$ & commitment to fire ant eradication.
Take action here to call on them to step up tomorrow - our wildlife & way of life depend on it.

Latest sugar global production outlook - small shortfalls in 2022/23 and 2023/24.
We've factored in a poor Thai cane crop for 2023/24, but no other El Nino adjustments yet...

This is historic.
Australia's first raw sugar shipment to the United Kingdom in 50 years is being loaded in Townsville.
Only possible because of our new free trade agreement with the UK. Great news for our sugar producers & great news for all Aussies.

We've downgraded our Thai cane forecast for 2023/24 from 74m tonnes to 66.5m tonnes.
Thailand harvested 93m tonnes cane in 2022/23 so this is a major decline year on year.
The weather has been seriously dry in some cane regions and newly planted cane isn't coping.

Another day, another baseless scare campaign from David Littleproud. Changes to the fuel tax credit are not on the Government's agenda. We’re not ending the weekend, we’re not ending the backyard BBQ and we’re not ending this either. Poor David.

Photos from the global sugar alliance meeting with participants from many countries looking to reduce the price distorting activities and tariffs to ensure a transparent world price. It was a very positive meeting with an open and respectful discussion.
Before COVID and before it was common @NationalFarmers was smart to work with @Telstra to develop a roadmap to an Australian Ag $100bn by 2030 it was inspired leadership and todays Leaders summit will hear how on track we are #towards100bn @CANEGROWERS @OMenkens @MattKealley
