Abstract

Water prices and charges affect horticultural industries in all countries.
The purpose of this paper is to explore the economics of horticulture and irrigation in an Australian context.
Water trading has driven a wedge between the supply price of water by irrigation authorities and the market price of traded water that influences on-farm decisions.
Relationship between water supplied by irrigation and other factors of production (land, labour and capital) are discussed.
A key distinction in Australia is between modern commercial farms with private irrigation infrastructure and small farms using shared infrastructure in the old irrigation settlements.
Adjustment problems are endemic.
The paper discusses how risk and scale affect adoption of irrigation techniques.
