New harvest: ABARES to begin its Aus agriculture surveys
From mid-July to December, the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) will embark on its annual farm survey program collecting data and interviewing around 1900 farmers across Australia. The findings aim to support decision-making about the future of Australian agriculture.
Two surveys will be conducted: the Australian Agricultural and Grazing Industries Survey and the Australian Dairy Industry Survey.
The interviews will cover questions about farm structure, land use and the production and economic profile of the farm business for the 2023–24 financial year. Selected estimates for 2024–25 will also be collected.
Executive Director of ABARES Dr Jared Greenville said: “The farm surveys are a core part of the evidence base that industries and governments across Australia use to provide a health check on the sector, develop policy and respond to challenges, such as drought and trade disruptions.”
