Australia’s main agricultural products are very contrasting crops: sugar cane (typical of tropical countries), wheat and barley (typical of cold countries). 

Even though Australia is an arid country, agriculture contributes a major portion of the country’s social, economic, and environmental sustainability. The agricultural crops grown in the country includes wheat, coarse grains, rice, oilseeds, grain legumes, sugarcane, cotton, fruits, grapes, tobacco, and vegetables; and livestock production includes beef, pork, poultry, dairy products, wool, and lamb.

With approximately 87,800* FARM businesses, 99% of which are family-owned and operated, each Australian Farmer is known to produce enough food to feed about 600 people.
