The markets opened up by our free trade agreements will simply go to rivals if we allow land clearing and water use rules to kill productivity growth on our farms, says ALAN OXLEY.
The government's new free trade agreements (FTAs), especially that with China, have underlined the huge market for food growing in Asia. However, if Australia's farmers think that bounty will just drop into their laps, they are wrong.
There are two problems. One is an ominous decline in the capacity of Australia's farm estate, once of the world's most productive, to supply. The other is the "farmgate" mentality in the farming community - what's beyond it is someone else's problem.
The Asian FTAs include valuable commitments to open markets for Australian agriculture. But the timetables are long term. The rapidly expanding middle class in Asia, particularly China, is creating new, huge demand now. Is Australian farming positioned to supply this rapidly expanding market?
An overview of the performance of our agricultural industries in the last decade is sobering. Productivity over the last decade has averaged 1.3 per cent. This is below the global average, certainly lower than in the US and New Zealand where productivity has been above 3 per cent. Another ominous statistic is that the volume of production was static between 2001 and 2011. What is the cause? There will be several factors but one stands out. Land available for farming shrank by 15 per cent.
Some might say the record drought in the 'noughties' brought all these indicators down. It did not strike the entire continent. Productivity was twice as high in the west and north as the rest of the country.
We do know for a fact that during that decade state governments imposed significant restrictions on clearing of native vegetation and reduced the flexibility by farmers in the use of their own land. In 2004, the Productivity Commission found this devalued property rights and reduced the capacity farmers to expand production.
Water entitlements for farmers from the Murray-Darling system were also reduced by a third, ostensibly to save the environment from what was envisaged as continuing drought. As predicted, the water flows returned; but farmers have not been invited to buy back the water rights. Limits on conversion of forest land (outside conservation areas) to other purposes, such as farming, were also extended.
It has not been a declared policy of any Australian government to reduce the farm estate. This has been the incidental impact of creeping environment policy. Unless there are changes, this process will continue. The Nature Conservancy, the world's biggest conservation organisation, has plans to limit land for cattle grazing in the North. WWF also supports this. Its core policy is to reduce the farm estate world wide - because we eat too much and there is too much farming. Both also plan to turn a huge area in south-western Australia into a nature reserve.

KUALA LUMPUR, March 4 (Bernama) -- While the heavy rainfall in Kelantan between Dec 22 and 24, 2014 was enough to inundate the state, other factors such as logging is said to have aggravated the situation further.
The expanse of land that have been cleared is evident when viewed from land, water or above.
The writers upon arriving in Gua Musang and Kuala Krai witnessed timber lorries on the public road at all hours, putting the lives of motorists in danger.
Despite claims by various parties that logging activities have ceased to exist in Kelantan, how come the lorries still operate in these two districts?
During the 10 days stay there, the writers witnessed lorries laden with timber making their way through the town area.
Timber lorries out and about town
Even local resident Shamsuddin Yaacob, 57, admitted to this. The clerk who works at a school in Gua Musang would meet-up with friends after work at the coffee shop next to the main road heading to Kuala Krai and that is when he would see the timber lorries.
"Many lorries pass by here. I don't know where they are headed but I worry something bad will happen and that the roads will be damaged by their heavy load," he said.
Rubber tapper Ahmad Tarmizi, 31, said the timber lorries were driven at high speeds and its drivers were rude and used profanities when anyone confronted them.
"We are also suspicious of some of the lorries as they are overloaded and the long logs are not marked with red cloth at the potruding end," he said.

The High Court has summarily dismissed an application for an injunction by the ODonnell family to halt the repossession of their home in Killiney.
The receiver involved in the repossession proceedings is also threatening to seek a trespass order against Brian ODonnell and his wife Mary Patricia.
Trespassing orders will be served via email and will be affixed to the gates of Gorse Hill, on Vico Rd the court was told.
The application for a trespass order will be heard on Thursday.
News of the court decision was greeted with solemnity by members of the Land League who have been blockading the ODonnell home in Killiney for the last two days.
Mr Martin said he had phoned his colleagues inside the gate, and went into the property to consult on the ODonnell familys wishes, following the unsuccessful application.
Mr Martin has previously said Mr ODonnell would be available to the media after the High Court action.

After clearing way for rural land reform, China's top legislature ended its latest session on Friday to prepare for the upcoming annual parliamentary session.
Legislators agreed to suspend a number of laws in 33 localities to help pave the way for rural land reform. Under the pilot programs, rural construction land will enjoy the same rights and market price as other land, while the right of use for existing collectively-owned rural construction land can now be transferred, leased and traded for shares.
In addition, approval for building a rural dwelling was delegated to lower levels: townships can approve existing construction land, while counties can approve new construction land. Compensation, housing and social insurance must be properly managed for those whose land is expropriated, and authorities must provide training, pensions and medical care for those eligible.
Zhang Dejiang, chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), stressed that that public ownership of land would not be changed, the "red-line" minimum of arable land would not be breached and farmers' rights were not undermined. He called for adequate supervision of the pilot programs which will run till the end of 2017.
The meeting also reviewed a bill on revisions to the Law on Promoting the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements, aimed at making innovation profitable for research institutes and universities.
A draft of the Counterterrorism law including a new, narrower definition of the term "terrorism", was also reviewed, as was a draft report on the work of the NPC Standing Committee. Zhang Dejiang noted "new progress and achievements" by the committee in the past year.
"We will uphold democracy, handle proceedings in line with the law, and host the session in a democratic, uniting, pragmatic and endeavoring way," he said. Zhang also called for an NPC session in line with the CPC's frugality rules, and urged members of the standing committee to forge closer ties with other lawmakers to improve the quality of their work.
Friday's meeting appointed Chen Jining as Minister of Environmental Protection, replacing Zhou Shengxian, and approved two cooperation agreements with Ukraine and Turkmenistan and a consular agreement with the Republic of Korea.
Lawmakers approved the draft agenda of the annual session, a draft list of candidates for the session's presidium and secretary-general, and the list of observers for the session.

Message sent on Ord Stage 2 expansion -
February 27, 2015 by
Mr HomeBuilder
MG Corp chairman Des Hill says it's important that the Knox Plain development of Ord Stage 2 proceeds this year as planned.
Traditional owners of Ord Stage 2 land have travelled to Canberra to stress the importance of Federal environmental approvals for the project to meet its timeline.
MG Corporation directors Des Hill and Ted Hall made the trip on behalf of all traditional owners, meeting the Department of Environment about the required approval and potential conditions for development of the next stage, Knox Plain.
Late last year, Chinese-backed developer Kimberley Agricultural Investment indicated it would be important for its land-clearing program to stay ahead of farm development work.
General manager Jim Engelke said this would require a smooth transition from work at Goomig Plain to land clearing at the 6000ha Knox Plain lot.
Mr Hill, MG's chairman, agreed it was an important that the Knox Plain development proceeded in 2015 as planned, with works expected to start in September.
"If we can achieve that then continuous work for the staff building the Ord expansion could occur," he said.
"MG is aware of the need for scale to make the agricultural sector robust and we know we, along with the WA Government, need to play our part in helping with that.
"Like all people, the MG people want and expect to see the environment well managed and we think we can do that and still have the development."
Mr Hall said the pair discussed the need for freehold title to the buffer land to be transferred to MG Corporation to enable it to use the land into the future.
