TO THE VICTORIAN ECONOMY
KEY ECONOMIC DATA - MARCH 2015
Agriculture Division - Strategy and Policy Integration. Key contact: Warren Hill, Director. warren.hill@ecodev.vic.gov.au
This factsheet provides an overview of the economic contribution of Victoria’s food and fibre sector including an
analysis of its characteristics and performance. While we focus on Victoria, comparisons are made to other
jurisdictions and to Australia. The sector has been defined based on the Australian and New Zealand Standard
Industrial Classification (ANZSIC). Food and fibre is categorised as (1) production (agriculture, forestry and
fisheries) and (2) manufacturing (food, beverage and tobacco, wood products, and paper products).
Economic contribution of food and fibre to Victoria
Food and fibre’s contribution to the Victorian economy can be measured in several ways. Some of the key measures
commonly used include industry gross value added, export value, employment and business counts.
Contribution to Gross State Product (GSP)
Food and fibre production and manufacturing contributes
about 4.9 per cent to the Victorian GSP.
In 2013-14, food and fibre production directly contributed
2.45 per cent to the Victorian GSP. While there is currently
no figure for 2013-14, food and fibre manufacturing
contributed 2.43 per cent to Victorian GSP in 2012-13.
Victorian nominal GSP was $350 billion in 2013-14,
accounting for 22 per cent of national output, a 1.7 per cent
increase from 2012-13. Western Australia, Queensland and
NSW experienced GSP growth of 5.5 per cent, 2.3 per cent
and 2.1 per cent from 2012-13, respectively.
Exports
The total value of Victoria’s food and fibre exports in 201314 was a record $11.4 billion comprising of $8.8 billion of
food exports, and $2.6 billion of fibre exports.
Food and fibre exports play a big role in the Victorian
economy, making up just under half (48%) of total goods
exports and accounting for 27 per cent of Australia’s total
food and fibre exports in 2013-14. The five most valuable
markets for Victorian food and fibre exports in 2013-14 were
China, Japan, USA, New Zealand and Indonesia,
accounting for 46 per cent of the State’s food and fibre
exports in 2013-14.
The meat industry was Victoria’s most valuable export
commodity, worth $2.3 billion, an increase of $626 million
from 2012-13. Victoria’s dairy product exports, worth $2.3
billion, represented 85% of Australia’s dairy product exports.
This was an increase of $431 million from 2012-13. Exports
from grains in Victoria were worth $1.9 billion in 2013-14.
Victoria accounted for 50% of Australia’s horticulture exports
valued at $894 million in 2013-14; an increase of 48% from
2012-13.
Employment
In 2013-14, Victoria’s food and fibre production and
manufacturing generated about 178,950 jobs.
Victoria was the best performing state in food and fibre
production employing 89,100 people (28 per cent of primary
production employment in Australia). About 86 per cent or
77,000 of the agriculture jobs were in regional Victoria. NSW
was the second best performing state generating 84,000
jobs.
Of the 89,100 jobs, 79,680 were in agriculture, 700 in
aquaculture, 1,900 in forestry and logging, 700 in fishing
and about 6,000 in agriculture support services. There were
89,850 jobs in Victorian food and fibre manufacturing in
2013-14. This comprised of 62,580 in food, 6,830 in
beverages and tobacco, 14,200 in wood products and 6,250
in paper products.
Farm businesses
In 2012-13, the number of Victorian food and fibre
businesses was 36,358, comprising of 30,921 in production
and 5,437 in manufacturing.
Beef and sheep industries had the largest number of
businesses (15,252 and 10,716 businesses respectively).
The dairy industry recorded 4,268 enterprises. There were
2,001 grape enterprises (of which 1,574 produced wine
grapes), 1,562 fruit and nut businesses and 573 vegetable
businesses in Victoria. Manufacturing businesses consisting
of 2,933 in food, 657 in beverage and tobacco, 1,560 in
wood products, and 287 in paper.
Victoria’s food and fibre production industries
Land use
The 2012-13 area of land used for food and fibre production
in Victoria was 12.2 million hectares, or 53 per cent of total
land. Of the total agricultural land, 42 per cent is used for
cropping and 58 per cent for grazing.

Food and fibre production
In 2012-13, the beef industry managed 2.4 million cows,
producing 369 kilotonnes (kt) of beef, while the sheep
industry managed 16 million head, producing 262 kt. The
dairy industry managed 1.1 million cows. Victoria is
Australia’s largest dairy producing state, producing 6 billion
litres of milk.
Total grains production was just under 7 million tonnes,
comprising cereals (82%), oilseeds (13%) and pulses (5%).
Victoria is the nation’s largest producer of several
horticultural crops: 89% of Australian pear, 82% of peaches,
78% almonds, 40% of strawberries, and 22% of vegetables.
Victoria is Australia’s second-largest wool-producing state,
producing 95 kt in 2012-13. Victoria also produced 243 kt of
chicken meat, 71 kt of pig meat and 78 million dozens of
eggs in 2012-13.
production was $2.3 billion, about 30% of the total value of
Australia’s production. This value was concentrated in 7
crops: pome fruit, table grapes, wine grapes, potatoes,
almonds, stone fruit and citrus. Wine grapes were worth

Table 16: Summary description of key indicators in this factsheet
Indicator
What is measured
Gross State
Product (GSP)
The total market value of goods and services produced in a state
economy within a given period less the cost of goods and services
used in the production process, but before deducting allowances for
the consumption of fixed capital. GSP is the sum of total industry GVA
(see Gross Value Added). The primary indicator used for tracking
economic performance over time is real (chain volume) GSP. Real
GSP is gross state product adjusted for changes in prices.

The total value of goods and services produced by an industry, sector
or area less the cost of the goods and services used in the production
process. GVA avoids double counting, as intermediate products are
excluded. The aggregate of GVA across all sectors sums to the total
GSP.

The total value of the annual production of agricultural commodities
produced by an industry or sector. This includes the value of crop
production, livestock disposals (domestic slaughtering and live

data used to derive GVP is taken as the average of a given commodity
