What may influence Australian pulse supply for
export
  • Grower intention.. Will they plant?
  • Major market SD (indicative prices).
  • Perception (comparative risk - i.e. cereal
    prices/ease of management versus cost of
    nitrogen/rotational benefit).
  • Domestic Demand (feed grain prices).
  • Seasonal Conditions will it rain?
  • Marketer Intention..Will they export?
  • Competitive SD and production time lines.
  • On costs processing, freight, currency.
  • Changing import requirements.
  • Domestic supply and demand.

What happened 08/09
  • With good opening rains, grower intention was for
    a record crop...
  • Late rains failed most areas except nth NSW /
    Queensland....
  • Except for desi chickpeas Australian production
    was decimated
  • Preliminary estimate is a reduction in the total
    Australian crop of over 40 against 07/08

And for the coming season?
  • Already good opening rains in most areas....
  • .....but it is far too early to predict what
    planting acreage will be
  • Growers are encouraged by current prices....
  • ....they are discouraged by past experience of
    unpredictable weather
  • Planting commences in May watch our web site
    for updates

15
We cant change the weather but we are positive
about the future
  • New national, focussed plant breeding program
    PBA now in its second year.
  • Brings all the various plant breeding bodies
    together under one joint venture partnership with
    GRDC.
  • Longer term commercial partnerships with plant
    breeders.
  • New grower best management practice manuals and
    training programs through Pulse Australia.

How will this influence production growthin
Australia in the next five years?
  • Better varieties - faster
  • Drought resistance
  • Disease Resistance
  • Wider adaptability
  • Improved Management
  • Lower Input costs
  • Higher yields
  • Even better quality
