Senator the Hon. Simon Birmingham, Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment

As the focus of the global COVID-19 recovery continues to shift from health and increasingly to economic reverberations, one of the most pressing questions in agriculture today is “how will the pandemic impact on the sale of Australia’s premium farm-grown products to the world?”.

Join the Rural Press Club of Queensland for its second “RPC Online” event when it presents Australian Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, Senator the Hon. Simon Birmingham, to discuss the expected ongoing COVID-19 effect on international demand, trade relations and how agriculture can best navigate its way through these uncertain times.

The Rural Press Club is delighted to continue RPC Online, our new webinar-based system to deliver the latest in agribusiness. Despite the recent global impact of COVID-19, the Rural Press Club is determined to continue to bring you valuable information and insights, and to keep you connected to our strong and vibrant agribusiness community.
