NSW Minister for Primary Industries, Lands and Water Niall Blair will today meet with agriculture and primary industries ministers from other states, territories, the Commonwealth and New Zealand in Sydney.
Discussions will focus on increasing market access for Australia's agricultural products.
Drought will also feature heavily in discussions.
“These forums play a vital role in making sure issues that affect a number or all of the states are addressed collectively and a way forward is paved as a national approach," Mr Niall said.
“The NSW primary industries sector is leading the nation in production, innovation and competitiveness – I am fiercely determined to keep it that way,” Mr Blair said.
