Data source

Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) - Value of Agricultural Commodities Produce 2020-21

To protect the confidentiality of individual businesses, the ABS has suppressed some agricultural commodity estimates from the 2021 Agriculture Census. This means that data for some regions is incomplete, particularly in South Australia and Western Australia. Key implications include:

  • Some commodity values may not be reported for your region.
  • The total value of agriculture for a region may be suppressed.
  • State-level totals may understate the true value of agriculture.

The totals shown on this page are the sum of all non-suppressed commodity values. These figures should therefore be treated with caution, as they may underestimate the actual scale of agricultural production in a region.
