"In compiling this report the Centre for New Industries Development assessed over three hundred alternative production choices for the Wheatbelt. With several exceptions, the alternatives chosen met the following criteria: Definable and significant world markets, or assist in production of these markets; Relatively low up-front opportunity and establishment cost; a measure of salt or waterlogging tolerance and/or are suited to specific parts of the Wheatbelt, either due to climate or soil conditions." --
