Summary
ABARE has supplied MLA with a yearly Total Factor Productivity (TFP) index for the years 1988/89 to 2006/07 as a measure of Australian lamb industry performance. The index suggests that the productivity gain over the period has risen only by 0.22% per year. This is different to the assumption made by Agtrans in the recent study of the R&D investment study for the lamb industry. The Agtrans assumption of a 1.6% per annum productivity gain was based on previous TFP estimates published by ABARE that used data only up to 2001/02.
