Introduction
This research proposal shall be identifying the possible reasons the lagging of the
agricultural industry in Australia (James 2016). The extensive development of agricultural
industry is not visible in the last few years as compared with the other industries like IT
industry and automobile industry.
Aim and research questions
The aims of this proposal as listed as followings:
 Comparison of employment and wages between agriculture and mining.
 Analysis between total income and total expenses among agriculture and
manufacturing
 Situation of both agriculture and IT sector and some similarities.
 Overall comparison of all the above data resulting necessary solutions.
Research Question
The research questions of this proposal are listed as followings:
 What are the sales and income service of the agriculture industry?
 How niche markets are created in the agriculture\ industry of Australia?
Conceptual Framework
ABS or the Australian Bureau of Statistics shall be deployed in this proposal to
identify the lagging of the growth of agricultural industry as compared with the construction,
retails and manufacturing industries of Australia (Abs.gov.au. 2019). Statistics obtained from
ABS will be beneficial to identify the issues faced by agricultural industry in Australia.

Critical Literature Review
As discussed by Altman, Liddle and Roach (2018), drought between 2003 to 2010 in
the agricultural zones of Australia are the prime reasons behind the lagging of the agricultural
industry in Australia as compared with the other industries of this country. This paper stated
that the growth of different types of crops completely stalled in Australia after the drought
years and this also had a direct impact on the agricultural growth of this country.
The Australian Bureau of statistics informed that the total income of the agriculture
and fishing industry of Australia revived after the drought ended in 2010. Comparing with
other industries like mining industry it can be said that that total income of mining industry in
the year 2011 is $236,054 M where the agricultural industry just had $73802M AUD
(Abs.gov.au. 2019). The data collected from ABS stated that value added of the agriculture
industry of Australia in the year 2015 is $102,103M AUD whereas the data mining industry
is $101,488M AUD and manufacturing is $101,488M AUD.
According to Zhang, Chen and Sheng (2015), salary of the works of the agricultural
fields are much less as compared with the other industries like waste service department and
mining. The salaries of the workers of agricultural industry in the 2016 was $8279M AUD
whereas the salary of the mining industry is $23,035M AUD (Abs.gov.au. 2019). The paper
suggested that investments in the field of IT can have a significant impact on the agricultural
industry of this Australia. The paper was very much useful to understand that lack of
investment was the main reason behind the lagging of this industry in terms of the salary
issues of the workers (Frager 1996). The papers stated that Australian government should be
working more the agricultural strategies as the other industries are performing well as
compared with the agricultural industry (Bauman, McFadden and Jablonski 2018). The paper
also suggested that reselling is one of the prime limitations of the agricultural industry of
