Trade

ABARES produced 11 facts sheets between March and July 2020 to provide regular analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on agricultural trade.

These were published on the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment’s coronavirus website. In these fact sheets, ABARES tracked trends such as price changes, the role of imports in food production, and changes to supply chain.

The fact sheets are available in the Agricultural trade implications of COVID-19 compilation report.
