Thread: Chinese Buying Our Farms

The result is that WE import much of the food we eat and the best market for
our locally grown produce is export.

Mate this is a Ahem rather large overstatement.
Just go to the Supermarket and look , 90 something percent of fruit and veg is from Australia.
Where you see imported stuff this is usually counter seasonal, and that has been the largest growth in International food trade because people want to buy say oranges all year round.
This benefits Australia greatly as we export Navel oranges to the USA, Japan and others and the USA exports Navel oranges to us in our off season.
There is very little from the Southern Hemishere.

Our apple growers kept NZ apples out for decades on spurious grounds but the sky doesn't seem to have fallen now they are allowed in. Maybe it will force the NSW Coop to become better at marketing.

Is that a "media" site, if so who owns it and could their be any bias from them?

couldn't you see the banner? it's pretty clear to me

I don't know why there would be any bias in a report of that nature.....theres nothing to gain
