Deadline an opportunity for industry partnership

NSW Farmers is encouraging dairy farmers to work with processors to secure the best farmgate deal possible for their milk, with the deadline for processors to publish their supply contracts around the corner.

June 1 marks the third time dairy processors have been required to publish their standard supply agreement under the Dairy Code of Conduct, which was introduced in January 2020 to improve transparency between farmers and processors.

NSW Farmers Dairy Chair Colin Thompson said dairy farmers were in a positive position, but more needed to be done to strengthen supply chain relationships.

“After a prolonged period of drought and low retail prices, dairy a change in tide,” Mr Thompson said.

“Reduced supply is driving up the milk price across the state, which is positive for farmers, but we must prices are equitable along the supply chain. Sustainable relationships are important, and farmers should work with processors to position their businesses for growth on the back of these prices.”

Mr Thompson said the retail price of dairy products would likely need to be increased to promote sustainability in the dairy supply chain, particularly with skyrocketing input costs and climate challenges.

“For too long, dairy farmers have faced stagnant retail prices, and NSW is particularly exposed to this because of the high proportion of fresh milk produced here,” he said.

“The unprecedented escalation of input costs and weather extremes is threatening the existence of many coastal farms and the future supply of fresh milk. Much of NSW has experienced a rolling natural disaster with over three metres months.”

Mr Thompson said processors and farmers.

“While we acknowledge everyone is feeling the cost-of-living squeeze at the moment, small increases at the checkout would go a long way for farmers.”

Quality infrastructure the road to success

Regional infrastructure has featured prominently in the latest State Infrastructure Strategy, paving the way for record success as the NSW agriculture sector looks to grow, according to the state’s peak agricultural group.

NSW Farmers President James Jackson said the vast potential of agriculture and regionaleconomies needed to be realised through strategic investment in road, rail and digital connectivity. “Agriculture and the regions are in a position where they could see the right investment decisions are made, and this seems to have been recognised in Infrastructure NSW’s recommendations,” Mr Jackson said.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has fasttracked a number of trends, including migration toward regional areas and the shift to online service delivery, both of which need to be addressed through stronger investment in road, health and telecommunications infrastructure.

“There’s also a need to harness the economic potential of betterconnected supply chains and accessible domestic and export hubs, particularly off the back of record success for many agricultural commodities.”

Mr Jackson said it was disappointing the strategy included recommendations to presspause on megaprojects including a Great Western Highway tunnel, as well as several dams.

“The Great Western Highway is the main conduit linking the Central West and Sydney, and its upgrade is heavily tied to harnessing the value-add opportunities in western Sydney,” he said.

Give poultry growers a fair go

NSW Farmers will play a key role in developing a new code of conduct to deliver price transparency and fair contracts in the poultry meat market.

NSW Farmers Poultry Committee Chair Peter Wojcicki said growers had been calling for a code of conduct, because processors and supermarkets continued to dominate the supply chain and in turn family farmers were missing out on the “fair go” Australia prided itself on. The lack of competition in the processor sector meant growers had limited bargaining power against the processors with many family farmers being forced from the industry.

“The poultry meat processing space in Australia is alarmingly concentrated, with just two companies responsible for processing 70 per cent of the nation’s chicken,” Mr Wojcicki said.

“Consumers might not be aware of the situation because of the number of brands on the market, but many of them are actually owned by the same company.

“With so little competition in the processing space, these big companies are basically able to offer contracts on a take it or leave it basis.”

Mr Wojcicki said poultry meat growers needed stronger protections through a code of conduct to make the industry more sustainable participants.

“Australian poultry meat growers are highly exposed to risk. They need to make huge infrastructure investments to raise birds they do not actually own, and the contracts offer little security.” Mr Wojcicki said.

“We’ve heard stories from growers forced from the industry burdened with huge debt, and for those left growing, lack of choice means growers have little choice but to sign one-sided contracts.”

“Sadly, this is an industry where there are geographic constraints and so few processors that farmers are at their mercy.” the potential for unfair contract terms in its 2020 inquiry into perishable agricultural goods, which was a watershed inquiry for agriculture and of power imbalances in fresh food supply chains.

Funding to develop the code of conduct was granted by the federal government.

Sonar used to locate underwater dangers

An advanced sonar program has started surveying NSW rivers for hazardous submerged debris across the State following this year’s shoreline clean-up crews coming in behind to remove those debris once located.

The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA)-led program removes dangerous obstacles to navigation and water safety – including giant tree trunks and water tanks – out of our rivers.

EPA Director Arminda Ryan said the Sonar (submerged debris) Clean-up Program was uncovering submerged and dangerous debris washed into the Hawkesbury and other rivers during the recent

“By using the latest technology available our aim is to make this recovery as thorough and Ryan said.

The strength of the Sonar Program is its ability to reveal otherwise invisible hazards. Sonar Technology mounted on boats sends out sound waves and measures returning echoes to detect large items on the riverbed.

Based on what has been found on shoreside clean-ups hazards are expected to include items as diverse as chemical drums, farming equipment, large tree branches and even caravans.

Ms Ryan said the Sonar Program was just one part of a combined NSW Government agency effort with the EPA working closely with Transport for NSW to secure and mark hazardous debris prior to removal.

“Transport for NSW has provided the EPA with 11 priority locations for surveying in the Hawkesbury River. OceanWatch Australia have provided a further two priority locations. Transport for NSW will also provide priority locations for surveying on the North Coast,” Ms Ryan said

“The program covers a broad area and will see a wide variety of man-made and natural hazardous debris removed from waterways extending from the Hawkesbury River to the Queensland border.”

Ms Ryan said the shoreline clean-up had already removed more than 6800 cubic meters across NSW since the beginning of March, which is more than 340, 8-tonne tip trucks.

“The communities in have been through very tough times in the past couple of years and the extension of these programs will support communities with their recovery from the

Free lunch for Richmond Valley farming women

The Nationals in NSW Government want to talk safety with Richmond Valley women who are involved in agriculture and are inviting them to a “Lunch and Learn” event at the Casino RSM Club on Tuesday 12 July, Clarence Nationals MP Chris Gulaptis says.

“Farming can be a dangerous business and this initiative is about offering locals the latest information available on farm safety,” Mr Gulaptis said.

“This particular campaign is targeting women because we know women are often the ones making business decisions, running the farm, and managing family life throughout the day, playing a critical role in building a culture of safety,”

The Lunch and Learn series is an opportunity to hold real discussions around the prevention of injury and death in the agricultural sector.

Minister for Fair Trading Eleni Petinos said the series will cover issues including working near electricity, emergency preparedness and response, safety around farm vehicles, and at-risk workers and contractors.

“Tragically, farming accounts for one in every That’s why these events are so important for the women at the centre of farming families – to provide essential safety resources and encourage safe farming practices,” Ms Petinos said.

The interactive event will provide participants with the opportunity to speak with presenters connected to the sector and network with like-minded women in agriculture.

The event will run for two and a half hours from 11am with a light lunch to be provided.

To attend the lunch, register on 13 10 50.

Study to help shape egg industry’s future

The sustainability framework community survey is embarking research, examining the relationship between the egg industry and the Australian community.

All Australian residents aged 18 years or older are invited to participate. The community survey covers the impacts and contributions of the egg industry across areas such as the environment, animal welfare, food security, and livelihoods.

Completing the survey provides an opportunity for the community to inform the Australian egg industry’s decision making. Alongside this open invitation for community members to have their say, views from a sample of around 5,000 Australians are collected.

The 2022 community survey is now open. To participate in the research, go to https:// voconiq.com/eggs

The 2022 sustainability framework community survey will once again explore attitudes of Australians toward the Australian egg industry. It contains a range of questions asking your opinions on a wide variety of topics related to the egg industry. The results of this survey will again be used to support the implementation of a Sustainability Framework by Australian Eggs for the egg industry, and inform a national conversation about the egg industry in Australia.

The Framework

The Australian Egg Industry Sustainability Framework aims to generate more productive engagement with the Australian community and drive continuous improvement within the industry.

Transparency is the cornerstone of building community trust and acceptance as people want access to accurate information to know how their food is produced or products manufactured.

Community expectations are constantly evolving and this extends beyond mainstream consumer purchasing decisions to much broader questions about how industries conduct themselves.

In response to this dynamic, Australian Eggs invited CSIRO to design a comprehensive research program that has been in motion for over three years. The research is intended to provide the egg industry with a better understanding of community attitudes, and communities with a better understanding of the egg industry.

The roles

The process is being driven by Australian Eggs and the initial research program was conducted independently by the CSIRO. The research has now been continued by VoconIQ. Once each research cycle is complete, the research is then given to the egg industry to help guide the Sustainability Framework Report. Community

The community is the Australian public. The process explores community views on egg industry issues through a statistically representative sample of over 5,000 people as well as an ‘open call’ to participate for anyone that is interested.

VoconIQ

The research is being conducted by engagement science company Voconiq, spun out of Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO in 2019, and will explore community attitudes towards the egg industry across a broad range of topics, including food security, biosecurity, traceability, animal welfare and environmental impacts.

Australian Eggs

Australian Eggs is the research and development corporation for the egg industry and it will support VoconIQ by providing information about the industry and making the research outputs publicly available. After community research is completed, Australian Eggs will engage with industry stakeholders to ensure the Sustainability Framework Report has their input.

Egg Industry

The egg industry includes egg farming businesses and other businesses along the supply chain such as veterinarians, feed companies and representative bodies. Australian Eggs commits to transparent reporting so interested parties can understand why and how the egg industry is responding to the research. the Australian Egg Industry Research Report released in 2018 and 2019 to obtain a deeper understanding of community attitudes to the egg industry.

The research was conducted using a survey of Australians through a statistically representative sample of over 5,000 people as well as an ‘open call’ to participate for anyone that is interested. The goal is to examine industry issues, both positive and negative, from multiple angles to understand the values driving community attitudes.

In 2020, the CSIRO extended the research process in two important ways: and repeated key measures from the 2018 and 2019 surveys that were found to be central in the Australian egg Industry, to allow comparison over time • The survey included new aspects to better understand community attitudes on the priority the research program, as well as current and emerging issues, such as

Australia is laying the groundwork for a third consecutive bumper harvest, with this year’s total planted crop area forecast to reach a record 23.83 million hectares, Rabobank says in its just-released 2022/23 Winter Crop Outlook.

This would be nearly one per cent up on last year’s record planting and 11 per cent above includes a 1.4 per cent lift in wheat and a record canola planting, up 20.9 per cent on last year, albeit at the expense of barley, oats and pulses.

The specialist agribusiness bank says – in a year of global shortages and high commodity prices – the forecast record planting comes as global markets look to Australia to deliver a “hat trick of great grain and oilseed production” at a time when poor production and export constraints in a number of countries are prompting the United Nations to warn that the world is on the brink of a food crisis.

Locally, the bank says, “hopes are on” another large winter crop to allow Australian farmers to secure good margins in the face of high costs for inputs including fertiliser, fuel, freight and agrochemicals.

Across the states, the report says, winter plantings are forecast to be up on last year by 10 per cent in Victoria and eight per cent in Queensland.

While New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia are expected to see small contractions in planted area – of two per cent, one per cent and one per cent respectively.

‘Hopingfor a hat trick’

Forecast record Australian winter crop planting sees potential for third consecutive bumper harvest

Production

Combined with the favourable seasonal outlook for the year ahead, Rabobank says, the forecast record national winter crop planting – currently underway across the country – should see Australia on track to deliver another aboveaverage grain harvest for this season.

Report co-author, RaboResearch agricultural analyst Dennis Voznesenski said while the outlook is for another bumper harvest, it was too early in the season to tell if the record planting would deliver another record in production this year.

“At this point in time, until the crop is more progressed and we can see if there are any surprises in store, we have been conservative in our production particular we’re mindful of the slow planting progress in NSW and the corresponding decline in yield potential with late planting, as well as overly-wet growing conditions,” he said.

Based on current plantings and slightly above-average yield expectations, the bank estimates Australia will be on track to deliver total wheat production of 32.5 million tonnes (down 10 per cent on last year), barley of 11 million tonnes (down 18 per cent) and canola of 5.8 million tonnes (down nine per cent).

Export program outlook

This would see Australia with “well above-average export potential again in 2022/23”, the outlook says.

Report co-author, RaboResearch senior commodities analyst Cheryl Kalisch Gordon said a prospective third consecutive bumper harvest would mean Australia would be “well placed to help support global wheat needs in 2022/23”.

“Excess carryover from 2021/22, together with another above-average harvest and strong global demand, means we expect Australia could export around 26 million tonnes of wheat again in 2022/23, almost 50 per cent above the 10-year average and more than 50 per cent above the said.

Australia is again expected to be able to deliver a “strong export performance into South-East Asia”, she said, with “Australian wheat continuing to be the price-setter across the region on a landed-cost basis, due to both a more favourable freight charge than other origins origination cost due to abundant local supplies.”

Rabobank says Australia is also forecast to deliver an impressive barley and canola export program in 2022/23, albeit down on last year. The bank currently sees barley exports of 7.5 million tonnes (down 16 per cent on the previous year) and canola exports at 4.5 million tonnes (down six per cent).

Dr Kalisch Gordon said increased canola planting in Australia this season was at the expense of barley and pulses, with Chinese anti-dumping tariffs that were still in place on Australian barley and lower prices earlier in the year the primary reasons for less barley hectares being planted. For pulses, lacklustre pricing and high stocks still on farm are driving lower chickpea plantings this year.

For chickpeas and niche grain and pulses, the report says, ongoing issues with the availability, reliability and cost of container freight – which have been further adversely impacted by China’s ongoing Covid lockdowns – are expected to continue to challenge boxed freight and constrain exports.

Global markets

Global stocks of grains and oilseeds are set to remain low and move lower in the coming year, Rabobank says, supporting elevated global prices through 2022/23.

“2022/23 may be the years in which global consumption of grain declines on the previous year – due to the high prices and limited supply,” Mr Voznesenski said.

“But even a decline in consumption won’t stop global stocks of wheat and most coarse grains from falling to their lowest levels since 2015/16.”

Even without the pressure being put on grain markets by the Russia/Ukraine war, which is impacting production and exports out of the Black Sea region, markets would be tight, he said.

“Global stocks remain average outside of the Black Sea, meaning prices will remain above average even if Voznesenski said.

Price outlook

The bank expects global wheat prices to continue trading near current levels with Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) wheat to trade around USc 1100 per half of 2023. But it expects prices to be extremely volatile in this higher range, as markets react to news of changes in crop prospects and what can ultimately be exported from Ukraine, Russia and India.

Strong demand for feed barley as a substitute for high-priced wheat and corn feed should keep global barley consumption near or above last year’s levels and be supportive of global prices, Rabobank says.

For canola – which sits in the broader edible oil market – prices are also expected to remain strong. This is given the tight global supply of edible oils, elevated fuel prices and good crush margins. Some softening of canola prices, although not substantial, is likely to occur when the northern hemisphere new crop comes on board in Q3 2022, according to the report.

Local prices for wheat, barley and canola are expected to remain historically strong, Rabobank says, albeit continuing to trade at a discount to global levels.

This is due to a number of factors, Dr Kalisch Gordon said, but primarily because of the large amount of local supply following two consecutive years of record or near-record production, with a third one “on the cards”.

“Australia has a very large exportable surplus with, in particular, a large volume of unsold wheat, especially on the east coast. And this will continue to weigh on local prices unless currently favourable seasonal conditions ‘turn south’,” she said.

For wheat, Dr Kalisch Gordon said, the bank expects basis (the difference between local and global prices) to remain negative over the balance of 2022 and into 2023 – driven by the substantial carryover from last year along with the expected large 2022/23 Australian crop, high freight costs and a discount as a result of a high-risk environment to hold grain for bulk handlers.

Domestically, the bank expects Australian premium white (APW) wheat track prices to trade at an average above AUD400 a tonne over the balance of the year.

Local feed barley prices are forecast to trade between AUD 415 and AUD 354 a tonne over the next 12 months, while local canola prices are forecast to range from AUD 938 to AUD 805 a tonne over the course of 2022/23.

Dr Kalisch Gordon said if Australia has another record harvest, “we could see a situation of full bulk handler sites, full on-farm storage and large volumes of grain in silo bags on farm awaiting shipping slots. weigh on prices, especially if conditions are very wet and farmers need to move grain off farm”.

An on-the-ground survey by the bank showed that nationally, farmers have increased permanent on-farm storage by more than 23 per cent since 2020 and are expected to expand this by another 15 to 20 per cent over the next 12 months, which could help alleviate some of the pressure on prices at harvest from a predicted third consecutive large crop.

Crop inputs

When it comes to farm inputs, prices for most are believed to have peaked, but are expected to remain elevated due to the high cost of production and freight, as well as the sanctions on Russia and Belarus, according to the Rabobank outlook.

Mr Voznesenski said after peaking in midMarch, a decline seen in global urea prices was local Australian markets in late July/early August, though prices would remain volatile.

“Prices for potash are believed to have peaked and local potash prices should be helped by an expected rise in the Australian dollar by the end of the year, though marginally,” he said. “Phosphate prices may also have peaked, though will remain above average in 2022, depending on China’s return to the export market.”

Mr Voznesenski said the bank’s survey had indicated many farmers were already well prepared when it comes to farm inputs, with a large amount of their needs already on farm. This was shown to be particularly the case in Western Australia, where farmers reported they had almost 80 per cent of their fertiliser and ag chemical requirements already on farm and in South Australia, where farmers already had close to 80 per cent of their fertiliser needs and 70 per cent of ag chemicals.

Impacts of China’s Covid lockdowns on Aust agriculture

Current strict lockdowns in many major cities in China – as the country tries to eradicate the spread of COVID – are not only affecting its local citizens, but impacts on trading partners, including Australia, according to agribusiness banking specialist Rabobank.

Speaking in a podcast, What’s the Impact of China’s Lockdown Wave?, RaboResearch general manager for Australia and New Zealand Stefan Vogel said, in particular, there are the lockdowns that are set to have increasing Australian agribusiness – disruptions to freight logistics, Chinese corn plantings, dairy demand and hog pricing.

Freight logistics global container logistics situation is becoming more complicated due to massive delays around the Shanghai port,” Mr Vogel said.

“The dry container index, which tracks average prices paid for the transport of dry bulk materials across more than 20 international routes, through 2021 as a result of COVID lockdowns in different parts of the world. While the index has since declined and is down 16 per cent since early March and 25 per cent down from the September 2021 highs, it looks likely that the ongoing COVID lockdowns in China will add to continued container logistics issues and keep container freight well above historic levels for 2022 and also likely to remain elevated well into 2023.”

Corn plantings

Mr Vogel said disruptions to corn plantings in China – the corn producer and also the world’s primary corn importer – were also raising more concerns in an already grains markets.

“Chinese corn planting faces delays in two key provinces as some farmers are stuck in major cities and are unable to access their lockdowns,” he said

“We understand the lockdowns have created delays in planting this important feed crop in some parts of Jilin and Liaoning provinces, and these two provinces account combined for 20 per cent of China’s corn acreage.

“The delay in planting increases the risk of frost damage later in the season, but at this point it is too early to say what the impact will be on yields. It will depend on the weather through the season.”

Mr Vogel acknowledged though that the delays in planting Chinese corn –and China’s feed grain import needs more generally – were not the biggest driver of current global grain prices.

Rather, world Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) corn prices had hit a this year and remain above USD 8/bu, driven primarily by concerns about the early arrival of the dry season in Brazil rainfall forecast for the next three months which could reduce Brazilian corn yields.

In addition, cool and wet conditions for corn planting in the US and an expected reduction of well over 50 per cent in Ukrainian corn production (as well as export uncertainty from Ukraine) in 2022 were also putting upward pressure on global grain prices, he said.

Dairy demand

The spread of the Omicron variant and China’s “dynamic were also bringing strong headwinds to consumption in the country’s food service sector, Mr Vogel said. And this was playing out in reduced dairy demand.

“Dairy demand in food service is slowing in China while, according to our calculations, dairy products in China produced from imported Oceania whole milk powder (WMP) are more expensive than produced dairy for the he said. breaking 2021 in milk powder imports by China, the demand uncertainty from COVID restrictions is likely to dampen the ‘dragon’s’ import appetite going forward.”

Mr Vogel said Oceania’s record dairy prices may also make Australian (and New Zealand) exports to be competitive into China.

Hog pricing collapse

In addition, China’s COVID restrictions had resulted in a big drop in food service sales of meat products, as well as supply chain disruptions, which had impacted hog production and prices, Mr Vogel said.

“Chinese hog producers have liquidated herds to avoid further losses, imposing further downward pressure on Chinese pork prices which can also impact China’s feed grain import needs,” he said.

Launch of latest beef industry report card

The performance of the beef industry against key markers of sustainability and the leadership role Australia is playing in the global discussion surrounding sustainable agriculture will come into focus at the launch of the Australian Beef Sustainability Framework (ABSF) Annual Update in Sydney on Thursday, 16 June 2022.

The Annual Update serves as a yearly score card for industry by reporting against key indicators spanning environmental stewardship, animal care and wellbeing, economic resilience, and people and the community. This year will mark the of its type since the launch of the ABSF in 2017 to identify success, opportunity and areas for improvement in the sustainable production of beef.

Red Meat Advisory Council (Chair), John McKillop, said this year’s launch would highlight Australia’s growing role in leading the world in sustainable livestock production through innovation, investment in people and communities, and self-determined targets to improve performance.

“The Australian beef industry is proving itself as a global leader in investing in research, innovation and best practice management to support evolving sustainability objectives,” Mr McKillop said.

“The ABSF has become a powerful tool to measure our performance and understanding of where we can do better – and transparently communicating that to our customers and consumers.

“Our commitment to sustainability has also been clearly demonstrated to the world through our industry-owned Carbon Neutral by 2030 target which is helping to propel the livestock sector –including beef, lamb and goat – towards no net release of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere within the next eight years.

“However, we also know true sustainability is multi-faceted and so the ABSF includes important economic, animal and social measures within the suite of indicators we use to monitor progress and set priorities.”

This year’s launch will include two important discussions exploring research and innovation being undertaken in Australia and what striving for improved sustainability means in a commercial context.

“This includes a panel comprising grassroots producers, lot feeders, processors and live exporters on what sustainability means in practical terms for beef businesses, as well as an innovation-based panel showcasing some of the exceptional and occurring right here in Australia,” Mr McKillop said.

Renowned chef Glenn Flood will also prepare lunch for launch attendees with beef sourced from Northern River Meats. Producer of the beef, Joe Leven, will be at the launch to speak about the food being served and the steps Northern River Meats takes to prioritise sustainability.

“This will be a great opportunity for us to showcase sustainability in action by experiencing just how healthy, nutritious and tasty sustainably produced beef is, and the clear market opportunities across the globe that exist for our premium Australian product.”
