It is kind of surprising that when I ask representatives from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine to tell me the value of the food produced for export, they cannot tell me. They can give me a figure for what we got for those exports but I would love to know the value of the food product output. The Department has that figure because it knows what was paid to the farmers. If Mr. Gleeson does not have the figure to hand today, he can send it on via a detailed note. Having read the first ten pages of the annual report, these are the questions that jumped out at me.
