James Jackson: Strategic investment in farmers ‘not up to scratch’
James Jackson, the Director of NSW Farmers’ Association tells John the biggest issue facing farmers is strategic investment. Among the issues he’d like to see change:
- Logistics aren’t up to scratch, the inland rail will make a difference when it’s complete.
- The opening of the new Western Sydney airport will reduce transport times
- The cost of finance is not competitive
- Ports should be competing against each other so cost comes down
- Fast track an Inquiry into supermarket power
- Drought proof supply chains
