Introduction
In many ways the Australia Indonesia agricultural relationship is emblematic of the broader bilateral relationship in its entirety. It is big, complex, incident prone, involves and reflects a wide range of interests and is characterised by high levels of commitment and mutual knowledge by key players, but also profound cultural and ideological differences in the background.
This note reviews the various dimensions of the agricultural relationship and offers some thoughts on where it might be heading. The views expressed are mine and do not pretend to represent official opinion in either Australia or Indonesia.
