The National Farmers' Federation (NFF) has questioned the approval process behind the sale of Tasmania's biggest farm to a UK investor.
NFF CEO Mike Guerin said the approval of the 22,000 hectare Rushy Lagoon sale has left stakeholders questioning the logic behind the decision.
"We're concerned that there were buyers that were potentially disadvantaged in the process of allowing the sale to a foreign forestry fund," Mr Guerin said.
"We are calling for a review of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation's (CEFC) mandate.
"It's imperative that these processes are transparent.
"We need to understand whether various conflicts of interest were addressed through the appropriate mechanisms, including the fact that a CEFC Director sits on the Foreign Investment Review Board which is supposed to assess the decision independently."
Mr Guerin said the community's desires had not been respected.
"We echo TasFarmers' concerns that the decision goes against what 99% per cent of surveyed Tasmanians wanted for Rushy Lagoon," Mr Guerin said.
"Australian farmers must be consulted, given choices, and listened to.
"There must be a balance between emissions goals, food security, and farm profitability.
"We always want to see agricultural land being used for its best purpose. We must ensure that is the case in the sale of Rushy Lagoon," Mr Guerin said.
