agribusiness

The level of automation and industrialisation of the Australian agricultural industry is high and as a result, there is almost no need for manual cultivation. Farmers constitute around 4% of the population of Australia and the agricultural industry contributes approximately 3% of Australia’s gross domestic product.

Although farmland makes up for nearly 60% of Australian territory, the majority of the farmland is arid and only small areas of the farmland is suitable for crop growing. Despite this, the arid land is extremely suitable for raising livestock, resulting in an advanced livestock industry.

One thing worth noticing is that if investors are foreigners, their investment activities in Australia’s agricultural industry require the approval of the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB). In March 2016, FIRB introduced a compliance and tax transparency condition as part of any FIRB approval; new review procedures were added in the meantime. Transfer pricing and anti-tax avoidance measures are under the spotlight.
