Did you ever wonder where the pabulum you get from home or the shops emanates from? Or have you ever descried how some things are facile to buy, like potatoes, and others are hard to find and expensive, like raspberries?
When Australia was first settled by Europeans, who brought with them their farming practices and aliment processing techniques, it took a few years to engender primary products for sale. In fact, by 1790, potation, butter and cheese were on sale in diminutive quantities in the Sydney and Parramatta markets.
It didn’t take long afore the farmers found that the sheep and cattle sold for much better prices than the crops they were withal growing, so many of the farmers went on to raise only animals.
Today the farming industry is just as essential to Australia as it was back then, for without it you wouldn’t be able to buy a fresh banana, you wouldn’t have attire made from Australian sheep’s wool, and that sausage sizzle at school would only be possible with imported sausages perhaps from a country that has poor aliment hygiene and safety standards.
Australian products are sought after because they meet high environmental and safety criteria and they taste great! Lots of research goes into ascertaining Australian agricultural products have maximum taste and quality with minimum impact on the environment.
The agricultural sector of primary industries is one of the drivers of our economy, providing us with so many of the essentials that we require from day to day that Australia simply couldn’t subsist without it.
