Growers have delivered the second largest winter crop on record, with timely rainfall and mild spring temperatures supporting strong yields – despite below average growing season rainfall in 2025-26 across many cropping regions in southeast Australia.

Australian agriculture is set to reach a record $101.4 billion in gross production value in 2025-26 before easing in 2026–27, with both prices and output expected to soften.

This report examines the potential for labour and seed supply to constrain reforestation efforts under the Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) scheme. Using simple ecological and economic models, we assess how increased demand for reforestation inputs affects wages and seed prices under alternative planting scenarios.

This report provides new mathematical modelling techniques to support the design and monitoring of compliance-based biosecurity intervention systems at the Australian border, such as the Compliance-Based Incentive Scheme (CBIS). These systems use a risk-based intervention approach to manage imports while reducing regulatory costs.

This Insights paper describes the current state of Australian agriculture, with the aim of providing an accessible overview of the industry and descriptive statistics.

This report utilises data from the 2023-24 Natural Resource Management (NRM) and Emissions supplementary survey to analyse NRM and emissions practices.

This report provides 2010–11 to 2023–24 estimates of net economic returns, total factor productivity and terms of trade indexes for the Eastern Tuna and Billfish Fishery using a non-survey approach based on existing administrative and public data.

This report is published in two parts, both containing data up to and including 2024–25. The first part covers Commonwealth fisheries production volume and value. The second part covers trade volume and value statistics for fisheries products.

This Insights paper provides a balanced perspective on the consequences for farmers and regional communities of land-based sequestration, which under the Net Zero Plan could require up to 119 million tonnes of carbon to be sequestered in the landscape. The impacts on agriculture and hypothetical policy responses are also explored.

This working paper develops a method to predict monthly irrigation water demands in the Murray-Darling Basin. This work is a key input for simulation analysis in hydro-economic modelling.
