CASE STUDY #2
Western Australia seeks to promote and attract investment into the Agrifood and beverage sectors
Client
Problem
Western Australia was failing to attract significant investment into the agricultural, food and beverage sectors, in particular in the value added space.
Solution
DPIRD wanted to produce documents for the two largest agri sectors in Western Australia - Meat and Arable Crops. The reports would attract investment and identify opportunities for investment.
What we did
This project involved significant stakeholder engagement, analysis and insight into the Arable Crop and Meat sectors of Western Australia. We assessed the current situation (macro drivers, global and local production, market share and trade) and identified emerging investment themes across multiple subsectors. Key firms were identified and profiled, providing a valuable resource for investors. The reports provided a foundational piece of research for any new or existing investor in the sector.
Output
The output from the project for each sector was:
An in-depth report, plus
A snapshot document (with wide distribution).
These reports were then distributed to potential investors across the sector including those through the international trade offices.
Outcomes
As is often the case with many government projects it is difficult to attribute new investment directly to this project, however investment is occurring and Western Australia is on the radar of investors.
