Impacts of COVID-19 on Australian agriculture, forestry and fisheries trade
Jared Greenville
Abstract
This report explores the potential impacts on agricultural trade from the COVID-19 pandemic. For Australian producers, the recent drought conditions and bushfires will continue to dominate production outcomes for the 2019-20 season, with potential improvement due to improved seasonal condition likely for 2020-21. The COVID-19 pandemic is most likely to disrupt trade through supply chain and logistics disruption that could limit access to imported inputs or limit product reaching final markets.
