Recent Trends in Australia's Livestock Industry (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recent Trends in Australia's Livestock Industry Although the largest share of its national income is now derived from manufacturing industries, Australia continues to depend upon agriculture as the source of raw materials for many of its processing industries and of more than three-fourths of its foreign exchange. During 1960-61, income from livestock (including dairy) was equivalent to billion, or 67 percent of the total cash income received from farming. Of this amount, 43 percent was derived from wool sales and 34 percent from the marketing of cattle, sheep, and hogs.
