GrainGrowers welcomes this opportunity to provide a submission to the consultative process for the 2021-22 Budget while noting the limited time between this process and the process for the 2020-2021 Budget. GrainGrowers also acknowledges the government’s focus on the COVID-19 pandemic and Australia’s economic recovery. While the impacts have been significant for many sectors, the Australian grains sector is in a prime position to drive continued economic growth in the COVID-19 recovery, especially with strategic and target investment.
