Chief Liquidity Series: Agribusiness

This technical document looks at the use of water in the agribusiness sector across Australia, Brazil, India, South Africa and the Mediterranean Basin. The implications of water pressures on agribusiness activities and their financial performance are analysed and the impact of agricultural activities on local water parameters discussed. This is done by examining water issues with regards to a set of specific crops: those considered by financial institutions themselves to be the most financially relevant in each of the geographies concerned.
