| Aquaculture is the fastest growing primary industry in Australia, increasing in value by an average of 13 per cent a year since 1990. In 2000-01, the gross value of Australian aquaculture production was $746 million, about 30 per cent of Australia’s fisheries production. Major aquaculture products are southern bluefin tuna, pearls, Atlantic salmon, oysters, prawns, trout, mussels, silver perch and barramundi.
The industry directly employs more than 7,000 people and indirectly more than 20,000 people. During the past four years employment in aquaculture has grown by 260 per cent. It is Australia’s sixth fastest growing occupation and the fastest growing occupation within primary industries.
Exports account for more than 60 per cent of the value of Australian aquaculture. Pearls and southern bluefin tuna are the main exports. Asia is Australia’s major market for fisheries and aquaculture exports.
The aquaculture industry is largely based in regional Australia, and makes a significant and positive contribution to regional development. Aquaculture adds diversity to a region’s economic base and creates demand for educational and training services, extension services, infrastructure and locally produced goods.
Aquaculture is a new global industry that is growing by 11 per cent a year. Driving the growth has been increasing world demand for fisheries products that the world’s wild fisheries are increasingly unable to meet.
To capitalise on the rising demand for aquaculture products, Australian producers need to exploit their competitive advantages such as:
· our established international reputation as a supplier of high-quality fisheries and aquaculture products;
· our unique native species;
· our clean environment;
· our closeness to major Asian markets;
· our ecologically sustainable management systems and regulations; and
· our ability to farm a large variety of aquatic animals from cold and tropical regions.
The Australian aquaculture industry has estimated that it could triple its yearly sales to $2.5 billion by 2010 if it could successfully exploit its competitive advantages to meet increasing domestic and global demand for fisheries and aquaculture products. This estimate provides the foundation for the industry’s vision and mission to 2010.
The Aquaculture Industry Action Agenda provides the framework to achieve this vision. An essential element of the framework is a strategic partnership between the aquaculture industry and the Commonwealth Government that can identify and act on growth opportunities for Australia and the industry.
A high-level steering group, the National Aquaculture Development Committee (NADC), was formed to assist industry and government identify and turn growth opportunities into dollars.
The NADC has proposed eight key initiatives to drive future industry growth and provide the starting point for an extended program of cooperation between industry and government:
1) Making a National Aquaculture Policy Statement
2) Implementing an industry driven action agenda
3) Growing the industry within an ecologically sustainable framework
4) Investing for growth
5) Promoting aquaculture products in Australia and globally
6) Tackling the research and innovation challenges
7) Making the most of education, training and workplace opportunities
8) Creating an industry for all Australians |
