Australian Organic Limited has provided a federal pre-budget submission, requesting investment in key areas to help support our industry’s growth potential.
These requests are broken down into three key pillars, as detailed below.
Pillar One: Domestic Regulation
Transition to a regulated domestic market to remove trade barriers, ensure a level playing field for domestic operators, increase consumer trust and move beyond being the final OECD country without domestic regulation.
Pillar Two: Strengthening Organic Market Access
Accelerate growth for Australia’s organic export market by accelerating equivalency discussions, enhancing resources and funding targeted trade initiatives to assist organic operators to export their products, take advantage of key markets and contribute to Australia’s goal to make agriculture a $100 billion industry.
Pillar Three: Organic Industry Data & Measurement
Implement data collection and reporting, sustainability reporting, and traceability to support industry growth and compliance with international standards.
Our full pre-budget submission is available to read via this link.
