Table 3. Importance of Information Sources Ranked by Agribusiness Employees.
Table 1: Indicators of e-commerce readiness (Stricker et al 2001). It is easy to understand why Internet access on Australian farms is low when bandwidth (capacity for data to be sent and received over the Internet) in Australia is considerably lower than the bandwidth available in the USA or Germany, as can be seen in Table 1. Not only is Internet bandwidth very slow in Australia, but it is still too expensive for many people in rural areas. This was reinforced in a presentation given by Ian McClelland, a grain farmer and Chairman of the Birchip Cropping Group, at the ABARE Outlook 2001 conference in July. He remarked that quot;using the Net in the bush is still expensive (and) despite it apos;s staunch advocates, use of the Net is very time consuming, and the attempt to find information is slow, often tedious and frequently fruitless quot; (McClelland 2000). Despite the negative aspects of using the Internet in rural areas, there are a number of networks in the Australian agri-food industry that have been proactive in regards to their adoption of the Internet.

The second is a case study of the Victorian Agribusiness Forums which have been initiated by local government with the establishment of the Alpine Valleys Agribusiness Forum1. While not producer initiated, the Agribusiness Forums have become more producer driven over time. Birchip Cropping Group (BCG)
