Growth opportunities for Australian food and agribusiness: Economic analysis and market sizing

The food and agribusiness sector is a vital contributor to the Australian economy and presents a key source of growth for the nation. To work out how much this growth is worth, CSIRO Futures quantified the opportunities identified in the 2017 Food and Agribusiness Roadmap.

The economic analysis quantified $25 billion in growth opportunities by 2030 across health and wellness, sustainability and luxury markets for the Australian food and agribusiness sector. To support growth, continued investment will be required in science and technology to meet customer demands.
