Agriculture
in Victoria
Victoria is Australia's largest food and fibre exporting state. The value of food and fibre exported from Victorian ports increased 11 per cent in 2011-12 to reach a record $9 billion, accounting for 29 per cent of all farm exports from Australia. Victoria’s temperate climate, high quality soils and clean water support our world-class agriculture industries. The state’s largest export earner, the dairy industry, provides no less than 7 per cent of dairy products traded globally.
We enable Victoria's agriculture and food sectors to maintain and enhance a reputation for world-class food by sustainably increasing wealth, employment and investment in regional communities.
