Question #1.
Rowell (QLD Wheat Grower) Asks
Does anybody know What percentage of Food that is consumed is imported to our country (Australia)? Does anybody know of who has done the research in this area?
I would assume the amount imported is growing year by year?
What level of residue testing goes into imported food?
These may be questions that have to be answered by someone who:
1. Specialises in disaggregation of the national accounts….the work of universities I imagine. I Hope someone had already done the work…
2. You would think the NFF would follow the consumption patterns of our community to see that our agricultural production was still competitive domestically. Perhaps one of the agricultural organizations…QFF?
They are real questions which go to the heart of agricultural and rural policy.
I’d appreciate it if someone could suggest where I might find this information.
Question # 2
Agmates Editor Asks:
Aren’t there any 2 year old Droughtmaster Bulls for sale in Southern and Central QLD?
There are 2 wanted ads on Agmates for people wanting to BUY Droughtmaster Bulls. One is looking for 1 and the other is looking for 6. The adds have been emailed to over 40 studs - result - 1 response.
Does anybody know a Droughtmaster Stud that has bulls for sale?
Heres a link to the ad for 1 bull wanted. Heres the link to the ad for 6 bulls wanted.
I’d appreciate if you could suggest a stud that may have bulls to sell.

This is pretty crude, but ABARE (asuming obtained from ABS) state 07 total ag production at 23.5 billion while imports total 8.2 billion.
I think a better measure of the percentage would be wholesale prices at retail level. this may be more relevant.
Can anybody tighten this up.
