<strong>Kangaroo</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Futures Authority Draft Economic Impact of Agriculture and Tourism4. AGRICULTURE SCENARIOSThree draft scenarios (base case, moderate growth and high or other growth) are provided asexamples as a basis for discussion.Base caseThe base case will map the trend of growth in the value of agricultural production from 2001to 2006 and to 2011. The trend will be extrapolated to 2016 and beyond to 2021.In nominal terms the total value of agriculture decreased by approximately 23% between 2001($45.6m) and 2006 ($35.0m) but almost doubled between 2006 and 2011 ($67.4m). It shouldbe noted that the value of agricultural production in 2006 was particularly low due to thedrought. Over the 10 year period, 2001 to 2011, the total value of agriculture increased by 48per cent. In real terms, over the same period, the total value of agriculture increased by 10 percent.It will be assumed in the base case:1. No change in the land use profile2. No change in the level of farm gate value addingModerate growthTo realise the vision for KI, The Plan outlines a principle to “maintain and strengthen primaryproduction in appropriate areas”. However, it does not set a target for growth in agriculture onthe <strong>Island</strong>. KIFA are focused on how to deliver on a target of doubling 2010 farm gate incomeson KI by 2020.Between 2001 and 2011 the nominal value of agricultural production increased by 48 per cent.A moderate growth target would be to increase farm gate incomes by 50% by 2020 (from the2011 level). That is, half of what would be required under the KIFA target.Other scenarios1. High growth scenario: A growth target that reflects a doubling of farm gate incomes by2020 could be included as identified by KIFA (also acknowledging the EDB discussion paper‘Paradise Girt by Sea’ (2010)).2. Changing assumptions within the base case and moderate growth scenario: The basecase and moderate growth scenario assume no change to the landuse profile or level offarm gate value adding. Two variables that could be tested are:a. Changing the land use profileb. An increase in the level of farm gate value addinge c o n s e a r c hPage| 82
