A frank economic outlook across the agribusiness supply chain from input supply to export markets.

A frank economic outlook across the agribusiness supply chain from input supply to export markets.

The economic environment facing Australian agribusiness has rarely been more complex.

Global trade disruption, escalating geopolitical conflict impacting fuel and freight costs, elevated input prices, shifting demand in key export markets, and a prolonged domestic interest‑rate cycle are all colliding, with implications right across the agribusiness supply chain.

This live webinar brings together two leading economists for an unscripted conversation on what these forces mean in practice, and how businesses across agribusiness can read the signals for the year ahead.

This session is designed for leaders and decisionmakers operating anywhere across the agribusiness value chain, including:

• Input suppliers and service providers
• Primary producers
• Processors and manufacturers
• Storage and logistics operators
• Traders and exporters
• Banks, financiers and investors
• Advisors, consultants and industry bodies

This is a live, facilitated conversation, not a presentation, focused on the economic forces shaping Australian agribusiness and their practical implications across the supply chain.

We'll cover:

• Global trade disruption: Tariffs, shipping constraints and freight volatility and what they mean from processor margins to exporter competitiveness
• Geopolitics and energy markets: The Middle East conflict and its implications for fuel prices, fertiliser markets and supply chain costs through to logistics operations
• Interest rates and capital: The outlook for rates and what it means for investment decisions, balance sheets, land values and capital allocation across agribusiness
• Input cost trajectories: Where cost pressures are easing, and where they are increasingly structural
• Market demand dynamics: Shifting demand in key export markets, including China, and implications for pricing, volumes and market access
• Seasonal and market outlook: What the data is really telling us about production risk and market signals
• Live Q&A: Audience questions put directly to the panel
