Food in South Australia
Food is vital to SA's economy.
The agrifood industry currently contributes $12.4 billion to the state’s economy each year – and accounts for 146,000 South Australian jobs.
The majority of South Australian food industry businesses are small to medium operators.
Agrifood products contribute approximately 25% of exports from South Australia. Wine exports add a further 25%.
South Australia’s major export markets are Japan, USA and Hong Kong – with products such as meat, seafood, fruit and cheese on tables and kitchens worldwide.
Under the South Australian Food Plan – which underpins the future development and growth of the state’s food sector – a key target is to increase the value of finished foods by 8% per year.
