The extreme volatility in global financial markets has finally caught up with
Australia's listed Agri Business sector causing it to experience a sudden drop
in value over the past month. However, despite the drop in the value, the
Australian Agribusiness sector is still outperforming the broader Australian
Stock Exchange.

Jon Sutton, Executive General Manager of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia
Agribusiness, believes that over the next twelve months the Agrisector will
continue to perform well. He believes that there are a few big macro trends
emerging, which will benefit the Agribusiness sector. In particular, our
proximity to growing economies, like China and India, make us really well placed
to supply these new markets with Australian farm products.
CBA Agribusiness has over 370 staff located throughout Australia, in 56
locations. All Agribusiness consultants are from farming backgrounds, and have
extensive experience in dealing with rural businesses. What's more, the real
advantage of using CBA Agribusiness staff to do business is their willingness to
accommodate their customers, by travelling out to where the customer is on the
farm.
