Norton Rose Fulbright conducted an online survey in April / May
2018, in collaboration with Agri Investor, of 94 agribusiness
participants from across Australia.
We explored five core themes – the changing market, risk,
investment and strategy, finance and technology and innovation to
gather insight and share the best-informed views of the trends,
risks and opportunities of Australian agribusiness today. This
survey takes a closer look at the Australian agribusiness sector
following on from our previous global survey conducted between
December 2013 and March 2014.
In comparing the 2018 survey results with our 2014 survey, we
have found a number of parallels between global and domestic views
as well as look at some notable new trends, particularly in the
areas of technology and innovation. In the following sections, we
highlight the responses from our survey respondents and draw
attention to some of the relevant legal trends, issues and
risks.
