Navigating export markets during global conflict

Farm Writers Lunch
Friday 28 February 2025 (12pm for 12:30pm)

A new phase of geopolitical uncertainty is gripping global politics – as old and new world orders look for their new place in the world, a rise in industrial protectionism and nationalist economic sentiment is challenging the free trade orthodoxy of the past half century. As a trading nation, Australia stands uniquely vulnerable to these changing trade winds – but is war the bigger threat to Australia’s grains industry than tariffs?

‘War and wheat: navigating markets during global conflict’ is a fresh take on Australia’s role in the ever-changing world of grain commodity trading. It looks at how we have previously sought to navigate global conflict and the consequences this has for Australian grain growers, traders and markets.

Join us at our February lunch where Dennis Voznesenski, Agricultural Economist and author, will share his thoughts about how Australia can best prepare itself for an increasingly uncertain future as an export focused trading nation.
