Abstract
AGRICULTURE and fishing were WA's first industries. Farm production in particular, was the State's economic mainstay for many years. It re1mains crucial lo our prosperity, and its future holds enormous potential.
As well as employment and income, agriculture and fisheries provide important recreation and landscape opportunities for our highly urbanised population, rural communities and international visitors. Recreational fishing- which is extremely popular - and the emerging farm tourism industry arc direct beneficiaries of strategics developed for sustainable primary industries.
