CQ producers have their say in manufacturing inquiry.

A new State Government inquiry will give Central Queensland’s agricultural sector a say on the potential for expanding the state’s food production and processing sector while creating new jobs.The inquiry will be conducted by the Queensland Productivity Commission, and will look at ways to build on Queensland’s traditional manufacturing base, including our agricultural sector.
The inquiry is expected to be completed by August next year and will focus on opportunities to maximise advantages, address weaknesses and take advantage of emerging domestic and international opportunities, including a focus on employment and exports.

Agriculture and food production are some of CQ’s traditional strengths and the QPC inquiry will help identify and understand the opportunities that may exist that are so far untapped.
