 have to be able to supply, or at least pivot our production processes to produce the goods we need.
“And we have to compete on value, not on cost.
“More broadly, as I’ve said before, we need to identify our areas of both comparative and competitive advantage. Our key sectors of comparative advantage could include our mining and agriculture technologies, critical minerals processing, and food and beverage manufacturing.
“Our areas of national priority might include pharmaceuticals and med-tech, defence, energy technology, the emerging space industry and waste and recycling.
“And of course, a developed advanced manufacturing capability is an enabler for all of these sectors.”
Groundswell for home grown
For Andrews, consumer sentiment will ultimately encourage businesses to seek a higher proportion of inputs through domestic supply chains. “The disruption in global supply chains has been a wake-up call for many businesses,” she said.
“I know a number of businesses are actively looking at boosting local procurement because they know many Australian consumers are planning to closely examine their own purchasing decisions in the future.
“I sense a groundswell of community support for Australian-made products, which is good news for local manufacturers.
“A return to quality over quantity. This sort of disruption would indeed be a great opportunity for Australian manufacturing to compete on value, not cost.
“It’s also important to recognise that our manufacturing sector has evolved and looks very different to what it did 30, 20 or even 10 years ago.”
AFGC welcomes minister’s comments
The Australian Food and Grocery Council (AFGC) welcomed Andrews’ comments confirming the strengths of Australia’s food, beverage and grocery manufacturing sector. The $122.1 billion Australian food, beverage and grocery manufacturing sector is the biggest manufacturing sector with 273,000 jobs and is a backbone to regional Australia.
AFGC Acting CEO Dr Geoffrey Annison said: “Whilst the supermarkets kept their doors open, it was the food and grocery manufacturers and suppliers working around the clock 24/7 that stepped up to keep their shelves stocked with the essential products needed by Australians week after week during the COVID-19 crisis.”
Annison, said that while Australia makes safe, nutritious food here and enough for 75 million people, it also value adds to the raw commodities from farms that get sold to the world. “Our exports are worth nearly $35 billion with a strong import trade as well bringing in ingredients to add to the products we make here.
“Manufacturing is alive and well in Australia and with the support from the federal government through either reducing red tape, short term incentives and allowances and helping business to navigate new markets, we have had the confidence and ability to remain strong during the COVID-19 crisis,” Annison said.
“While this sector is vital and strong, the AFGC will work with government to shape the future landscape for manufacturing in Australia as laid out by Minister Andrews. Building competitiveness is a priority especially as global competition is likely to be fierce as other countries look to Australia as a potential market for their industries, and will not hesitate to take share from Australia in export markets.”Well, it's not L173's ALF, but it is a Bicentennial rig.
