  • Co-Operative Bulk Handling (CBH Group)
    Productivity Commission Inquiry into the regulatory burden on farm businesses focusing on regulation that have a material impact on the competitiveness and productivity of Australian agriculture 12 February 2016 CBH Group - Submission to the Productivity Commission 1 CBH Group - Submission to the Productivity Commission EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Co-operative Bulk Handling Limited (“CBH”) notes the Productivity Commission’s inquiry into the regulatory burden on farm businesses, with a focus on regulations that have a material impact on the competitiveness and productivity of Australian agriculture. CBH considers it is generally incumbent on Government to seek to minimise supply chain regulation as it often leads to increased costs, inertia, inefficiencies and market distortion, the adverse effect of which is ultimately borne by the grower. Likewise, poor or ineffective regulation in the absence of effective constraints can result in adverse economic outcomes for the Australian agriculture sector. In making this submission, CBH is responding to those sections of the Issues Paper relevant to the CBH business - specifically transport, competition and investment - outlining a range of opportunities to enhance existing regulatory frameworks to ensure: • An environment is created that incentivises ongoing investment into agricultural supply chains that increases the sustainability and profitability of primary producers; • A wider understanding and appreciation that agriculture is different to other industry sectors (such as mining) given issues of weather and geography and must be treated differently if it is to provide an ongoing contribution to the national economy; and • Policy is developed that strikes a balance between creating an incentive for foreign investment, but where that investment involves monopoly infrastructure (railway lines and roads) that the users of that infrastructure have some assurance that they may continue to access facilities with reasonable service and reasonable pricing.
