The federal government’s highly anticipated Agricultural White Paper was launched today, and it’s focused on boosting profitability of the farming sector.
It contains a range of initiatives totalling more than $4 billion, including $500 million for water infrastructure and $60 million for the Mobile Blackspots program.
In addition the Drought Concessional Loans scheme will be replaced with a permanent, low interest scheme for drought-affected farmers, which will be capped at $250 million a year, for 10 years.
