This article describes some of the functions of the L.I.P.C., and attempts to provide some insights into the Japanese meat market. The author, Gil George, recently returned from Japan after completing a Master's degree in Economics.
The Banana Industry At Carnarvon, John Roger Burt
The Banana Industry At Carnarvon, John Roger Burt
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In viewing the semi-arid conditions of the West Gascoyne, visitors are surprised to see a thriving banana industry at the mouth of the Gascoyne River, 930 kilometres north of Perth. The natural vegetation in the plantation area consists mainly of stunted gums, low acacia scrub and salt bush.
Despite the adverse climatic conditions, the average yields of Carnarvon bananas are double those of banana areas in other states.
Pasture Seeds : Production Techniques And The Future Market Situation, B J. Quinlivan
Pasture Seeds : Production Techniques And The Future Market Situation, B J. Quinlivan
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Like other farming and grazing industries, pasture seed production has its share of booms and slumps —perhaps more than its share. In Western Australia, the industry reached a high point during the mid-1960's when land development along the south and west coastal districts was at its height.
The drought year of 1969 and the subsequent rural depression saw pasture seed production fall to its lowest level for ten years and it is only in the last 12 months that there has been a revival.
With the sudden upsurge of interest last summer there will be many potential seed producers now …
The Effects Of Changing Flock Structure On The Amount And Type Of Turn-Off From Sheep Flocks, T Marshall
The Effects Of Changing Flock Structure On The Amount And Type Of Turn-Off From Sheep Flocks, T Marshall
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In the past the proportion of mated ewes in Western Australia's sheep flocks carried through summer has averaged about 40 per cent and sheep meat production has been basically lamb and old mutton.
If the proportion of mated ewes was lifted to an average of around 50 per cent and wethers were sold off at an average of about 2 1\ 2 years old, there would be substantial increases in sheep meat production. The extra meat produced would be young sheep meat ideally suited for table meats for consumers in W.A. and in many overseas countries.
As a result of …

Market Prospects For Rapeseed : 1972-73, R J. Guyton
Market Prospects For Rapeseed : 1972-73, R J. Guyton
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Interest in rapeseed as an alternative crop in the agricultural region of Western Australia was reflected in the area sown in 1971, some 70,000 acres, and an initial export contract of 10,000 tons made in January 1972.
This market report draws upon information released by the Department of Primary Industry and Department of Trade and Industry (both located in Canberra) and research within the Department of Agriculture. Its purpose is to outline future prospects for rapeseed as an aid to decision making for the 1972 season.
Stone Fruit Regulations, W J. Hart
Stone Fruit Regulations, W J. Hart
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Stone fruit grading regulations were introduced for the first time recently to keep small, green or badly blemished fruit off the market. This type of fruit is always in poor demand and can spoil the prices obtained for better lines of fruit by creating the impression of heavy supplies.
Market Prospects For W.A. Wheat, William John Toms, J. A. Parish
Market Prospects For W.A. Wheat, William John Toms, J. A. Parish
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
WITH the Western Australian wheat industry valued at $100 million per year and subject to production restrictions, can market prospects be improved?
What types of wheat should we produce? Can we increase sales by segregating specific types from the present crop? This article discusses the changes in W.A. wheat production that would be necessary to suit specific markets.

Barley And Oat Yield Tests In W.A, H M. Fisher
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
BARLEY production has increased sharply over the past two seasons to compensate reduced wheat acreages.
The change over to barley has been supported by the availability of suitable varieties, notably Dampier, and a good demand for West Australian barley overseas.

The Outlook For Barley, P J. Hackett, E. J. O'Loughlin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
World production of barley in 1968 was 4,107 million bushels—an increase of 7 per cent, on the previous year.
Further increases are estimated for the 1969 season, especially in Canada and France. World production is expected to be 3 per cent, higher than in 1968.
Prime Lamb Production In Western Australia : A Review Of The Development Of The Prime Lamb Industry In Western Australia, R J. Suiter
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
PRIME LAMB production in Western Australia has evolved into an industry based almost entirely on the local market.
This has not always been the case. In the 1930-40 era a substantial proportion of the State's prime lamb production was exported to the United Kingdom.
During this era the industry was equally dependent on exports and local market.
Local Marketing Of Citrus Fruits, K T. Whitely
Local Marketing Of Citrus Fruits, K T. Whitely
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
CITRUS fruits are always popular on the local market but recently supplies from South Australia have made the market a very competitive one.
The situation demands the marketing of high quality citrus from growers in Western Australia.
The need to harvest the bulk of the Navel orange crop over a rather limited period and the resultant tendency for oversupply during that time also necessitates high standards of presentation to maintain firm prices.

Pasture Seed Production, 1966 : Statistics And Comments, B J. Quinlivan
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE marketing of pasture seeds differs from that of some other primary products in that there are no guaranteed prices.
A knowledge of potential supply and demand for the various species and strains is just as important to the seed producer as good production techniques.
Agriculture In Western Australia. 3. The Economic Potential Of The Wongan-Ballidu Shire. Part 1, G D. Oliver, A. W. Hogstrom
Agriculture In Western Australia. 3. The Economic Potential Of The Wongan-Ballidu Shire. Part 1, G D. Oliver, A. W. Hogstrom
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN West Australian agriculture there is a considerable "backlog" of information available to farmers which is not being used in practical farming. This, of course, is true of agricultural industries anywhere in the world.
This "backlog" results in a big difference in productivity between the best farms and the "average" farms in each district.
This article is a simple economic study of the potential of one shire of Western Australia.
