Project: Economic Evaluation of the Branched Broomrape Eradication Program (2008)

Client: Department of Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation

Summary: A broad cost benefit analysis of the Branched Broomrape Eradication program was undertaken to facilitate decision making at the national level regarding the ongoing funding of the program. The aim of the program was to determine the potential cost of branched broomrape to agriculture in Australia. The report provides an update of similar studies undertaken by EconSearch in 2003 and 2007.
