Too few economies of scale in horticulture
11 Aug 2005
Imports of frozen vegetables have increased by 36 per cent over the last two years. Imported semi-processed foods, such as canned tomatoes, are also rising quickly in some lines of vegetables. The rising level of imports will drive a faster rate of change in horticulture. Some consultants believe that Australia’s 4500 horticulture farmers need to consolidate quickly, to perhaps only 900 in order to realise economies of scale.
