Agribusiness

AGRO-FORESTRY group ITC’s capital raising of between $13 million and $15 million is more than a cosmetic effort to improve its appeal to foreign interests.

WA PLANTATION manager Integrated Tree Cropping claims to have been the first to get its prospectuses through under the Australian Securities and Investments Commision’s new guidelines.

THE Australian Wheat Board’s privatisation plans have stalled.

CORPORATE farming, once touted as the future of agriculture, seems to have lost its appeal.

The Australian Wheat Board hopes to be both a publicly listed company and Australia’s largest grain agribusiness within the next twelve months.

The Australian Wheat Board, privatised on 1 July 1999, is operating under a new structure which, according to AWB Limited WA regional manager, Greg Harvey, is more commercially focussed while continuing to be customer driven.
