Summary

• World economic recovery will be gradual and a relatively low Australian dollar to stay, at least in the short term

• Gross value of farm production to increase and export earnings to fall slightly

• Improved market access has supported Australian agriculture and continued effort is needed

• Productivity growth and infrastructure improvement are key to future opportunities
