Agriculture outlook

Australian agriculture mid-year outlook 2023

  • A drier seasonal forecast is weighing on the Australian cropping outlook with total production forecast to come in slightly below average this season
  • Consecutive seasons of herd and flock rebuilding across livestock industries are expected to drive stronger beef and lamb supply
  • Horticultural output continues to rebound following last year’s damaging weather events across the east coast
  • Demand remains mixed with a number of economic headwinds weighing on both domestic and offshore consumer sentiment, though the ongoing diversification of our export markets will hold Australian exporters in good stead
