National Farmers’ Federation president Hamish McIntyre has welcomed Wednesday’s announcement of a $10 billion Australian Fuel Security and Resilience package by he Federal Government.<\/p>\n

He said it was a welcome step towards building the sovereign capability Australia needs to protect its food system.<\/p>\n

The package will establish a fuel and fertiliser security facility, and create a government-owned fuel security reserve. It will also increase the Minimum Stockholding Obligation by 10 days.<\/p>\n

“These are practical decisions that will increase our liquid fuel and fertiliser security,” Mr McIntyre said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Prime Minister has been clear that the fuel reserve will focus on regional stockouts and supply constraints for essential users.<\/p>\n

“This is critical and we want to ensure farmers and fishers see the benefit of this on the ground.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re also pleased that the announcement extends to government-backed loans, equity, guarantees, insurance and price support for the supply and storage of fertiliser.<\/p>\n

“Reliable and affordable fuel and fertiliser underpins every stage of food production, and recent events have shown just how exposed Australia is to global shocks.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ll continue working with the government to ensure these measures deliver for producers to keep food and fibre growing and moving.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
