The role Australian agriculture has to play in the Southeast Asian market and how it can help food security in the region, is the focus of a new parliamentary inquiry.
The region has been identified as a major opportunity for Australian business, because of shared economic growth prospects and geographical proximity to each other.
Meryl Swanson, the chair of the agriculture committee leading the inquiry, says the Albanese government wants to deepen its engagement with Southeast Asia, which is at the centre of global growth.
