One natural disaster can be a massive setback for a business, but oyster grower James Ford has had three — as well as sewage spills.

abc.net.au/news/three-floods-in-a-row-nambucca-oyster-grower/102125404It's been two years since the one-in-100-year floods devastated the NSW Mid-North Coast oyster industry, but Nambucca River grower James Ford is still out of pocket and trying to rebuild his business.

In the two years since, Mr Ford said he had struggled to access recovery grants and his stock continued to suffer the long-term effects of the events. "Its a little frustrating to think each one of those shells should have been a dollar, well in the vicinity of $150,000 plus, pretty much what should have been last year's sales and some of the future sales," he said.Mr Ford said recovering from the weather events had been exacerbated by demand for oyster spat.
