Abstract | Development of new agricultural industries in northern Australia is seen as a way to provide food security in the face of reduced water availability in existing regions in the south. It is envisaged that this relocation of the rice industry to north could offset decreases in the irrigated area and output of the Murray Darling Basin (MDB) as a result of decreased inflows and buybacks of environmental water under the Murray Darling Basin Plan. This paper provides information to support decisions on the incremental and transformational changes by considering the net effects of shifting agricultural production from southern rice areas (Riverina) to sugar dominated areas in northern Queensland (Burdekin) using dynamic regional Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. |
