Cr Hope told attendees that the Liverpool Plains produces about 40 per cent more than the national average of food per hectare, and is the highest contributor to agriculture in NSW.
Additionally, roughly 37 per cent cent of the nation’s cereal crops are grown in the area.
According to Cr Hope, the JO, through the China Engagement Project, is determined to gain the best outcomes for its communities and businesses to improve and strengthen economic circumstances and job prospects into the future.
