The National Farmers' Federation (NFF) has congratulated the agriculture industry on its relentless pursuit of $100 billion in farm gate output by 2030.
NFF President David Jochinke said despite global market volatility, shifting trade dynamics, and extreme weather events, the sector has continued to make significant productivity gains.
"We're just five years out from 2030, and we are closing in on this ambitious target," said Mr Jochinke at AgXchange.
"The 2030 Roadmap has served as the north star for Australian agriculture by guiding policy, investment, and innovation across the country.
"ABARES forecasts show we're on track to reach the $100 billion mark over the next few years, which is a remarkable achievement that reflects the resilience, adaptability and ingenuity of our Aussie farmers.
"We've had a number of wins for the sector, including the extension of the Regional Investment Corporation Loans, the shelving of the 'Biosecurity Tax', the passing of the long-awaited legislation to establish a nature repair market, and government commitment to develop a National Food Security Strategy.
"However, there are still gains to be made, particularly in farm safety, mental health, workforce attraction and retention, sustainability and global competitiveness.
"With continued collaboration between industry and government, I am confident we can turn challenges into opportunities and deliver lasting benefits for Australian agriculture and our communities," Mr Jochinke said.
The Roadmap's report card was unveiled this morning at AgXchange on the Gold Coast.
Released in 2018, the 2030 Roadmap was developed by industry and endorsed by the Prime Minister.
