TPP negotiations at pointy end

NATIONAL Farmers’ Federation (NFF) president Brent Finlay wants Australian negotiators to aim high and enhance outcomes for agricultural exports, when talks recommence on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement this week in Maui, Hawaii. The Australian government is aiming to deliver commercially meaningful outcomes for Australian agricultural exports such asa beef, dairy, grains, sugar, horticulture, seafood and wine, while securing gains for local resources and energy exports, manufactured and other goods, according to Trade and Investment Minister Andrew Robb.
