Hon. R. G. Casey describes Australian agricultural implement manufacturing as expanding under the Lyons Government. He notes H. V. McKay Massey Harris Pty. Ltd. as a leading exporter to New Zealand, South Africa, and Argentina, with employment rising from 962 in 1932 to 2,219 in 1987 and output more than doubling in five years. He credits private enterprise with rational tariff policy for the sector’s growth and stresses the mutual dependence of farmers and the industry.
The report notes rising engagement and output values from 1931 to 1936 with 2634 to 5053 engaged workers and output up from £1,146,849 to £2,524,088, while 1936–37 figures were expected higher. It recalls 1934 Tariff Board advice for lower duties on key agricultural implements, adopted only under the British Preferential Tariff, not the General Tariff, due to competition mainly from Canada and the United States.
