SEPTEMBER QUARTER

Summary Comments

Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing

  • The trend estimate increased by 0.8% (seasonally adjusted up 20.9%). In seasonally adjusted terms, agricultural production was up 16.6%, with rises in both cereal and non-cereal crops. Inputs also rose, up 9.9%, due mainly to higher fodder costs.

Mining
  • The trend estimate decreased by 1.0%. The seasonally adjusted estimate was 3.0% lower with falls in Oil & Gas production offsetting strong growth in services to mining (up 9.6% seasonally adjusted).

Manufacturing
  • Both the trend and seasonally adjusted estimates decreased by 0.1%. In seasonally adjusted terms, falls in Printing, publishing & recorded media (down 9.0%), Machinery & equipment (down 2.7%) and Petroleum, coal & chemicals (down 1.6%) were largely offset by the growth in Food, beverage & tobacco (up 5.3%), Textile, clothing and footwear (up 4.1%) and Other Manufacturing (up 6.4%).

Retail Trade
  • The trend estimate increased by 1.2%. The seasonally adjusted estimate increased by 2.0% with strong growth in personal and household good retailing (up 3.1%).
