Global environmental concerns are currently at the height of public importance. Consumers want more information on the services and goods that they purchase; recycling, organic goods, carbon emissions, climate change and environmental sustainability are but a few of the areas under enquiry. Preoccupation with these issues is altering purchasing patterns and impacting upon the primary industries.

The primary industries are the largest sector in the Australian economy but globalisation and emerging new economies are increasing industry competition, another trend impacting upon the industries.

In addition to industry trends, Australia’s climate is often problematic and droughts have had huge effects on Australian agriculture. Competition within the industry is intense and many farmers are operating with tight profit margins. Similarly, Forestry and Fishing are affected by balancing the competing concerns of industry growth and development, and sustainability issues.
