Summary

The ABARES Outlook conference has maintained a reputation as the leading agricultural, forestry and fisheries forum in Australia for public and private sector decision-makers. It is where delegates from across industry and government gather and discuss the key domestic and global issues affecting Australia's sectors.
The theme for Outlook 2015 is 'The business of agriculture: producing for profit', reflecting recent conversations on international investment, accessing finance for capital growth and taking advantage of rising demand across Asia.
The program features leading national and international speakers who will provide their unique perspectives on these issues. ABARES speakers will deliver informed presentations, underpinned by sound economic and scientific data, research and analysis.
Sessions at the Outlook conference include the plenary sessions - economic overview, farm business and financing, a range of commodities including dairy, meat, fibres and horticulture plus innovation and farm performance.
The Outlook conference gathers leaders from across industry sectors and stakeholder groups and provides a unique opportunity for ministerial participation to present the Australian Government's policy direction for the agriculture, fishing, forestry and natural resource management sectors. It has a strong record in providing essential economic information and analysis to the public, private and corporate sectors. For delegates, it is a valuable forum to assess current industry trends and market forecasts for a range of sectors.
