Drive Regional Value-Add, Investment and Sustainability

This year, the Great South Coast was recognised as Australia’s largest agricultural production region by value – responsible for over $4.6 billion in output over the 2020-2021 period. The economic multiplier effect of major food and fibre industries for other sectors in the Great South Coast is 1.84, and 6.06 for job creation, meaning when food and fibre thrives, the whole region thrives.

Our focus on encouraging value-add, investment and sustainability in the region has contributed to food and fibre’s ongoing growth, and through meaningful advocacy and strategic policy development, we remain committed to building on these powerful enablers for our sector.
