Agricultural Sector Vulnerabilities – Building Supply-Chain Resilience
The impact of shocks to the Australian agriculture sector's supply-chain infrastructure (physical and digital) is potentially significant. There is a need to develop a cross-industry, national resilience framework that includes pre-emptive and reactive strategies and interventions to ensure that industry is prepared and has the tools to respond to any supply chain disruption. This project will explore agricultural supply-chain resilience and identify strategies and actions to address existing supply-chain vulnerabilities. The scope of the engagement includes agriculture, fisheries and forestry sectors, with a focus on supply-chain transport and logistics vulnerabilities which impact on the import, export and domestic movement of goods across agricultural supply chains. It seeks to deliver a better understanding of the likely system shocks which will have a cross sector impact on supply chain infrastructure, and to identify strategies that players across the agriculture value chain can adopt to build supply-chain resilience to both respond to and pre-empt future system shocks.
