Global agrifood opportunities

The Agrifood sector offers a diversity of fertile landscapes, climates, and cultures. Australia has plenty of fresh produce that is prized domestically and internationally. We are well positioned to respond to global agrifood opportunities, with strong demand in many regions. Australia has a secure, stable supply of quality products, catering and foodservice supplies. Sustainability and food safety is a priority throughout the entire production and transportation process. The agrifood sector also supports our transition towards net zero targets.

Australia has many opportunities including:

high-value crops: Almonds, Macadamias and Australia’s indigenous plants and fruits – with strong export demand
technology and innovation. Precision agriculture is supported by Australian farmers
an early adopter approach. For example, technologies such as robotics and data-driven irrigation, and pest management
value-added products with strong government focus towards manufacturing and value adding
investing in operations that process or package fresh produce into higher-margin items is gaining traction.

Australia also boasts a network of free trade agreements with preferential access to a range of global markets.
