About Us

Welcome to AgChoice

One of Australia’s most experienced practitioners in agricultural policy, agricultural issues management and representation has turned its attention to reform and productivity increases in Vietnam.  

Over more than three decades in the thick of Australian agricultural policy, operations and politics AgChoice associates have been involved in some of Australia’s most high profile and highly charged issues including but not limited to:

  • The $13 billion Murray Darling Basin Plan – policy development, water reform and later representing the interests of Australia’s largest private irrigation company
  • A complete review and public private partnership international marketing proposal for the Vietnam coffee industry
  • Fracking – the capture of landholder sentiment on behalf of Victorian State Government
  • Landholder representation in the construction of Victoria’s $4 billion desalination plant
  • The reputation management, constitutional reform and field operations of the Australian Wheat Board (AWB Ltd)
  • Policy and implementation of the $1.75 billion restructure of the Australian dairy industry

Services to Vietnam

AgChoice and Associates:

  • Identifies potential Australian and international grants funding avenues for eligible Vietnam enterprises
  • Seeking market access to Australia and the world
  • Specialises in connecting policy makers and industry leaders in Vietnam and Australia.

 

AgChoice and Associates believes:

  • Vietnam entities working in PPP need a clear, unobstructed pathway to funding from the Australian and other governments around the world
  • Vietnam’s future productivity and marketing gains are technology driven
  • Vietnam’s primary producers must have access to technology through programs and platforms that are supported by well-crafted government policy
  • Achieving Vietnam’s equitable growth can be assured with the development of Public Private Partnerships (PPP)

AgChoice has been a valued contributor to the work and development of the Australia Vietnam Business Council for almost 20 years. It has frequently exhibited thinking, initiatives and solutions that are well ahead of the market and industry. I have seen the work done on developing technology to support the international markets of Australia’s $28 billion grains industry as well as the work done in agricultural issues management. AgChoice provides high-integrity well defined solutions and fearless advice.
