The Australia India Institute in partnership with Consulate General of India, Melbourne hosted the Australia – India Agribusiness Roundtable, on Thursday, 14th November, at ANZ Bank. With Victoria being a leading agricultural state in Australia, it has established itself as a key partner for India, particularly in the areas of dairy, meat, grains, and horticulture. The demand for high-quality agricultural products in India continues to rise, presents exciting opportunities for collaboration.
The longstanding leadership of delegates in the agribusiness sector, combined with their deep insight into the industry’s challenges and opportunities, played a crucial role in enriching the roundtable conversations. The themes of food security, sustainability, and market opportunities were central to the dialogue.
A clear takeaway from the roundtable was the shared commitment between Australia and India to tackle critical issues in food production, supply chains, and sustainable agricultural practices. It was also clear that both nations recognise the immense potential for collaboration in expanding trade and investment opportunities within the agribusiness sector.
