In agriculture, Australia expands surveillance following new H5N1 detections and Ukraine’s grain exports slow seasonally as Indonesia pushes ahead with ambitious biofuel investments. Critical minerals continue attracting government support, Australia’s gold sector sees another major takeover bid, and battery incentives are transforming electricity markets through rapid rooftop solar adoption.
