The lack of labour across Australia available to producers of fresh fruits and vegetables has already resulted in lost crops. With no silver bullet in sight we sadly expect this to continue through summer and into next year.
It is vitally important as an industry that we record and track these losses. The evidence we gather through this national register as this issue unfolds will enable us to inform decision-making and improve our ability to advocate for greater government intervention where necessary.
All responses are entered anonymously. We will ask for crop, value and location details, including postcodes. This information is voluntary and will help with our advocacy.
