According to AgForce, a farmer’s lobby collection, the flooding has left half of Queensland’s agricultural crop damaged. More than a few coal establishments in the region have implemented force majeure. Under this ruling, companies will not be detained liable for missed deliveries as a result of conditions beyond their control.
The Queensland Resources Council, a non-profit business, estimates losses in the production of coal and gas would be in the range of hundreds of millions of dollars and that an increase on the current $225 per ton of cooking coal is likely.
The price of vegetables has by now enlarged with the cost of crops such as sweet potatoes and seedless watermelon triumph four times its regular cost inside a week. Fruits like melon, mango, bell peppers, and tomatoes are likely to increase as well. Due to insufficient supply, other fruits and vegetables may well have to be imported.
According to Mark Jensen, the value of basic commodities will boost by 50%. However, he mentioned the reality that while it may only mean a few more dollars in the supermarket, the cost is nothing to the hundreds of farmers who almost lost their source of livelihood.
The eastern Australian state of Queensland is still reeling from the decade-long drought when the amount of rainfall was fine more than the average. Just when the farmers were looking for a decent crop from the sand-colored fields that have turned green for the first time, the state faced another crisis yet again by means of the arrival of Cyclone Tasha on Christmas Day.
Once again, Queensland, recognized as Australia’s “Sunshine State,” finds itself amidst a crisis. By New Year’s Eve, half of the state was declared a tragedy area. The overflowing of Queensland’s three major river systems left more than 200,000 people homeless. Twenty two towns now find themselves remote as a result of flooding in areas bigger than the combined size of France and Germany.
Queensland’s Premier Anna Bligh called the recent flooding “a tragedy of unprecedented scale.” Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who is now visiting the snowed under areas pledged an amount of $1018 for every adult and $407 per child to families whose homes have been damaged. A national relief fund has been put in place to move up money for the victims and foodstuff is now being rationed to the inaccessible areas exaggerated by the worst flooding in the last five decades.
