Agriculture
Our agriculture experts have provided analytical support to guide major government and industry decisions for over 30 years. Our work has ranged from mapping industry strategic plans to analysing world and domestic events for the implications for Australian agriculture commodities.
We advise on sectors including:
Red meat industry
Poultry and wool
Grains, horticulture, and other crops
Beer and wine
Aquaculture
Our capability centres around the design, customisation and employment of sophisticated economic models including general equilibrium models. We provide incisive commentary on structural change and globalisation; we work with complex data sets and analyse them in coherent and consistent ways. Our experience includes:
Developing frameworks for establishing industry strategic plans
Conducting impact evaluations of industry investments through cost benefit analysis
Forecasting demand and supply in agricultural markets
Evaluating the impacts of shifts in international policy (trade reforms, biofuels policy) and domestic reforms (tax and subsidies)
Advising on response to emerging threats (climate change, biosecurity risks) and opportunities (innovation, R&D)
Supporting infrastructure planning for regional development by providing strategic inputs
