Australian exports and the economy
Agriculture makes an important contribution to the Australian economy. Around two-thirds of our farm, fish and forestry production—worth around $52 billion—is exported to more than 100 countries annually. Australia’s plant industries generate more than $12 billion in export revenue for the economy.
In 2018, the National Farmers Federation published its 2030 Roadmap to achieve $100 billion in farm gate output by 2030.
