Farming in QLD

For 2011-12, the total value of Queensland’s primary industry commodities (combined gross value of production and first-stage processing) is forecast at $14.69 billion. The GVP of Queensland’s primary industry commodities at the ‘farm gate’ is forecast at almost $11.51 billion.

QFF and its member bodies represent intensive agriculture in Queensland, which constitutes more than half of agricultural production. Intensive agriculture makes a major contribution to State and regional economies and employment, and in the current financial year is expected to be worth about $6.3 billion, or about 54 percent of total GVP agricultural production.
