The Food, Wine and Agribusiness Sector Plan is an industry-led strategy, developed by Primary Producers South Australia, the South Australian Wine Industry Association and Food South Australia in partnership with the Government of South Australia.

Food, wine and agribusiness is a large and diverse sector covering primary production (grains, dairy, horticulture, livestock, viticulture, fishing, aquaculture and forestry), and processing of these products into food and beverages, wine and fibre. Primary production is a key economic contributor to our regional economies and the vibrancy of regional communities.

What is the Plan for growth?

The Food, Wine and Agribusiness Sector Plan will stimulate an ambitious growth agenda to contribute revenues of $23 billion by 2030 to the South Australian economy. Growth State aims to achieve an increase in Gross State Product (GSP) to an average annual rate of 3% per annum.

This will be achieved through:

• Productivity and innovation especially the adoption of new agricultural technologies
• Increasing processing and manufacturing
• Growing business capacity and expanding the skilled workforce
• Improving digital and supply chain infrastructure
• Creating new market opportunities and expanding market access
• Ensuring sustainable access to resources and encouraging clean, smart production
• Growing the operating environment through collaboration and cost reduction.

The Plan identifies six key priorities:

• Grow productivity
• Grow people
• Grow infrastructure
• Grow markets
• Grow sustainability
• Grow the operating environment
