The Australian vegetable-growing industry is an important part of Australian agriculture, contributing around 6 per cent ($3.4 billion) to the gross value of agricultural production in 2014–15 (ABS 2016).Between 2006–07 and 2014–15, the estimated average farm cash income of Australian vegetable growers remained relatively steady, although both average total cash receipts and average total cash costs increased. This reflects an increase in the average size of vegetable-growing farms.In 2015–16 (the most recent survey year) average farm cash income of Australian vegetable-growing farms is estimated to have increased to around $249 000 per farm. The financial performance of vegetable farmers improved in all states except South Australia and Western Australia.
