Agribusiness

The Northern Territory (NT) Government is developing agribusiness in the Territory with sights set to achieve a $2 billion sector by 2030.

The launch of the agribusiness 2030 strategy supports and guides this goal and provides a clear strategic direction and shared vision with government and industry to increase sustainable agribusiness in the NT.

Aligning with the goal of the $40 billion economy by 2030, the strategy was developed to increase the agriculture and aquaculture industries net worth from $1.3 billion in 2021 to $2 billion by 2030 while protecting and enriching our unique Territory environment, lifestyle and culture.

The strategies 4 key strategic priorities include:

• Engagement with our broad community of stakeholders to maintain their respect and support
• Protecting what we have worked hard for in terms of our reputation as a supplier of choice for high-quality produce
• Continually adapting and innovating to capitalise on opportunities and to respond to biosecurity and climate change threats
• Focusing our efforts on actions that activate the key drivers of growth if we are to succeed in realising our vision.

The launch of the agribusiness 2030 strategy highlights the NT Government’s commitment to growing the livestock, horticulture, broad acre cropping, fisheries and aquaculture sectors in a sustainable and responsible manner, underpinned by research and strong regulation.
