This became very clear to me last year when I met with KPMG agribusiness teams around the world and listened to their top-of-mind issues. The prescription for growth we benefited from at that time is unlikely to deliver for our country over the next decade. We must catch up with these markets to stay competitive and ensure our growth in export revenues. As one contributor said in our conversations in preparing for this year’s KPMG Agribusiness Agenda report, “Regulators bark while retailers bite”. We can do it, but we need to start having the right conversations today and not be afraid of running towards the hard stuff.
