Primary producers in and around Kingaroy are among those who will have their say on a draft blueprint that will drive future investment, create jobs, and unlock opportunities for agribusiness for the next 25 years.
The Crisafulli Government is working with primary producers across Queensland to design a plan to deliver a prosperous future for the sector.
Consultation throughout regional Queensland has started on the 25-year blueprint, “Primary Industries Prosper 2050”, which is the largest strategic collaboration between the Government and industry in at least a decade.
The blueprint was formulated when around 250 industry representatives from agriculture, fisheries, forestry, biosecurity, research, investment and government came together on 26 February at the Queensland Primary Industries Forum to discuss ideas.
The draft blueprint is now touring the State and is available online.
Farmers, graziers, fishers, forestry workers, truck drivers and anyone connected to primary industries can contribute to the plan at a series of consultation events held across Queensland or online.
The Crisafulli Government is putting its mark on Queensland’s primary industries and is committed to boosting the State’s agricultural output to $30 billion by 2030.
Speaking at the Gympie information session, the Minister for Primary Industries, Tony Perrett said the blueprint will drive future investment, create jobs, and unlock opportunities for agribusiness.
“I’m calling on all representatives from across our industry sectors, including research, community, investors and government, to make sure their voices are heard so we can co-deliver a future where our primary industries thrive and prosper,” Mr Perrett said.
“We want every industry to have their say… We need to work with the industry to return the sector to full profitability.”
