Commodity Webinar
15 June 2023
12pm-1pm AEST
The Australian Food and Grocery Council (AFGC) invites members to attend a webinar providing a quarterly update on agriculture commodities by Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARES) experts.
Considerable uncertainty exists over demand and supply of globally traded agriculture commodities leading to uncertainty regarding availability and prices. This is in turn driving inflationary pressures for food and beverage manufacturers.
Join the webinar to hear from senior ABARES officials and understand the outlook on agriculture commodities and how it might impact your business.
