The State Government has unveiled a 25-year blueprint to future-proof Queensland’s primary industries, reinforcing agriculture as the backbone of the state’s economy.
With a strong vision for growth, the plan aims to increase Queensland’s agricultural output to $30 billion by 2030.
By working in close partnership with farmers, industry leaders, and regional communities, the government aims to set a strategic direction complemented by five-year operational plans tailored to regional and sector-specific needs.
Minister for Primary Industries Tony Perrett said the initiative aims to ensure Queensland’s producers remain competitive, productive, and resilient in a rapidly evolving industry.
“The landscape of Queensland’s primary industries is changing rapidly, and we must act to ensure our industries and communities remain competitive, productive, and resilient into the future,” Minister Perrett said.
“By working together, we can co-design solutions that reflect local priorities and help Queensland meet its ambitious economic goals to ultimately grow the sector.
“This is a 25-year blueprint for a stronger future, and it’s all about unleashing new and exciting opportunities for Queensland producers in the years to come.”
The blueprint will address critical areas such as global megatrends, advancements in agricultural technology, diversification, advanced manufacturing, and expanding international trade opportunities. It will also integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations to ensure long-term sustainability.
A four-month consultation process will commence with a full-day forum on 26th February in Brisbane, bringing together key stakeholders to shape the blueprint's direction. The final strategy is set to be released in the next financial year.
