Our Structure
The Queensland Farmers’ Federation is a collective voice for intensive agricultural industries in Queensland. It is a federation that represents the interests of 16 of Queensland’s peak rural industry organisations, which in turn collectively represent more than 13,000 primary producers across Queensland. Through QFF, rural industry resources are pooled to ensure powerful and amplified representation on important rural issues. QFF’s and its members represent industries including sugarcane, cotton, horticulture, dairy, prawns, chicken meat, pig meat, the nursery and flower industries, and prawns and aquaculture. Individual farmers are members of their own commodity organisations. These commodity organisation are in turn members of QFF.
