Heavy rains, which were blamed for some food shortages in Australia, have also given crop exports a boost. The country's farmers are predicted to see their most valuable year ever. Agricultural exports are forecast to hit a record $75bn in the year to the end of June, according to the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARES). What are your thoughts LiveTribers? Why have crop exports set for record high after heavy rains?

Need to make up for previous losses
Balancing the good with the bad.
More rain means more crops. If farmers can get better prices for their crops by exporting them. then they will export them.
More rain, better crops, I think, so that farmers can afford to send more crops overseas.
We need to ensure farmers are supported for sure
We should be thankful for the rain as the next weather cycle will be dry
Ha ha, natural disasters look like are welcome !
Seasons are unpredictable and uncontrollable. It must be devastating to lose crops due to weather conditions and it's great when other years can help to make up for losses. Farmers do a wonderful job and I am very grateful to them.
Yes, support our farmers.
The farmers are great full for the independents outlets as they can sell all products with little marks or odd sizes not like the 2 big supermarkets require.
Over a long period, it shows its about cycles of wetter then dryer. We have to make the most when we do have lots to share, and exporting helps us as a country
Never complain about rain cause it's not a guarantee
Rain is better than drought.
Why dont crop farmers start doing hydroponics it could safe there crops from from drought and from heavy rains
Very old and well used phrase in many country areas ... There's Money In Mud.... Most farmers will tell you wet years are far more preferable to droughts.....enough said!
Profit before their own people. Not true Aussies.
Russian and Ukrainian harvest buggered by war...drought in North America and Canada .Best season in Oz since mid 1970s. There's money in mud!!!! Simple!
