Australia currently holds 46 days of petrol supply and 31 days of diesel, according to Minister Bowen's weekly fuel update. Prime Minister Albanese's recent "diesel diplomacy" tour of Singapore, Brunei and Malaysia aimed to shore up supply agreements, though he cut the trip short following a major fire at the Geelong oil refinery. As tensions around the Strait of Hormuz continue to affect global fuel and fertiliser supply chains, fertiliser prices have more than doubled, prompting an import deal of 250,000 tonnes of urea from Indonesia and calls to expand domestic gas-based fertiliser production. The Bureau of Meteorology's Super El Niño forecast adds further uncertainty to the season ahead. Dairy, grain and vegetable producers are flagging price rises at the checkout as input costs rise.

Against this backdrop, Agribusiness Australia's food security program has never been more relevant.
