My question is to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Senator Watt. Our agriculture sector relies heavily on good trading relationships. We export around 70 per cent of what we produce in Australia, and the industry has a goal of growing the agricultural sector to $100 billion in farm gate value by 2030. I listened intently to what Minister Farrell said, but can the minister also outline how the recent entry into force of the UK FTA will benefit the agriculture industry and assist it in reaching that goal of $100 billion by 2030?
