Agriculture
in Victoria

Victoria is Australia’s largest food and fibre exporting state. Our strong agricultural sector produces goods valued at around $8 billion a year, or 28 per cent of the national total. 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.
