The Australian Cold Chain and the RWTA mentioned in The Australian this morning
In the face of soaring energy costs and rising food prices, the RWTA is advocating for significant policy reforms to alleviate the financial strain on Australia's cold-chain industry.
We have emphasized the urgent need for an overhaul of energy policies to mitigate the impact of increased tariffs and substantial renewable energy levies on food prices. Our involvement is crucial as it supports a broader coalition of industry bodies pressing the government to develop a comprehensive food-security strategy. This initiative aims to enhance the resilience of Australia’s food supply chains, particularly highlighted disruptions caused the pandemic. The RWTA's proactive stance is a testament to its commitment to ensuring that the cold-chain sector can continue to operate efficiently and cost-effectively, ultimately helping to stabilize food costs for consumers across the nation.
