Agriculture in Australia - statistics & facts
Through the production of a wide range of primary products such as wheat, milk, fruits, nuts, vegetables, and meat, Australia’s agriculture sector contributes to an essential share of the country’s GDP. The sector is export-oriented with the major agricultural export commodities including beef, wheat, wine, wool, and lamb. Highly dependent on climate and weather conditions, farm productivity can fluctuate. However, research and development in this sector has led to overall farming productivity growth for many agricultural products. Still, there are many issues that Australian farmers are concerned about that could impact the profitability of this industry.
