Crop damage hits hip pocket and stomach

Queensland's flood has left farmers with a devastating damage bill and consumers with a potential food shortage.

Growcom chief executive Alex Livingstone said he was heartbroken on Wednesday after a day of calling citrus farmers around the state.

"[The cost of the damage] would have to be over $100 million if you start adding it all up," he said.

Mr Livingstone estimated Bundaberg's citrus farmers alone would lose $25 million if just five per cent of their two million citrus trees - each worth $250 - was destroyed.
