Former AgForce CEO Charles Burke<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

September 25, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former AgForce CEO Charles Burke has been appointed a Food Farmers\u2019 Commissioner by the State Government.<\/p>\n

Mr Burke is also a former CEO of the Queensland Transport and Logistics Council, former vice-president of the National Farmers\u2019 Federation, and former co-chair of the State Government’s Drought Program Review.<\/p>\n

The creation of the commissioner role was a recommendation by the Supermarket Pricing Select Committee.<\/p>\n

It will be a point of contact for matters affecting farmers, provide advice to farmers in supporting their relationships with supermarkets, and advise the government on arrangements across supermarkets and their suppliers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honoured that the Queensland Government has put its faith in me to be the first Food Farmers’ Commissioner, to navigate a pathway in this challenging environment,” Mr Burke said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis critical role represents an enormous opportunity to improve price transparency, create a safe environment for complaints to be considered and acted on, and redress the imbalance between suppliers and supermarkets.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very much looking forward to getting started in this important role.\u201d<\/p>\n

The appointment is for an initial period of 12 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
