Queensland, Australia: A Global Hub for Agricultural Excellence and Emerging Industries 

By Editor, Global AgInvesting Media

Welcome to Queensland, Australia, a leading region for world-class agriculture. As Australia’s northernmost state, Queensland boasts the perfect blend of scale, diverse landscapes, and ideal climates to grow almost anything. 

As the future host of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Queensland is benefiting from the global spotlight with increased economic activity, investment in infrastructure and a highly-skilled work force. The Queensland Government understands the importance of showcasing the immense opportunities in the state’s agribusiness sector and has partnered with Global AgInvesting (GAI) to bring the conference to Australia on 10-11 June 2026.  

Unmatched access to global markets 
Strategically positioned at the doorstep to Asia’s booming markets, Queensland’s proximity to Asia ensures easy and efficient access to global trading partners, supported by international airports and shipping ports.  

A global leader in premium agriculture 
Queensland’s reputation for premium, sustainably produced agriculture, experienced agribusiness operators, robust institutional frameworks, and stable government   underpin the appetite of both domestic and global investors to partner with Queensland.    

The state’s focus on supporting innovation, and particularly agritech advancements, the existing world-renowned scientific research institutions and training, and stringent biosecurity systems continue to provide confidence to Queensland’s agricultural sector. 

The Queensland conference will be a unique opportunity to showcase these assets for investors and delegates through regional site tours in the lead up to the conference. 

Australia’s agricultural powerhouse 
As the country’s largest agricultural state, Queensland is setting the agenda for global food and fibre production: 

  • Home to nearly half of Australia’s beef herd 
  • Extensive cultivation of grains, pulses, and cotton 
  • Industry expertise in horticulture, forestry, aquaculture, and fisheries 
  • Strengths in food and beverage processing

With 80% of Queensland’s land used for farming (twice the size of Texas, USA), this agricultural powerhouse operates at scale. 

Driving innovation and sustainability 
Given escalating global demands for sustainable food production and renewable energy, Queensland is leveraging its natural and intellectual capital to achieve significant momentum. Opportunities are thriving in areas such as: 

  • Natural capital and carbon projects 
  • Renewable energy diversification 
  • Emerging bioenergy industries through its agricultural feedstocks. 

Queensland’s agribusiness sector growth – on track to reach $30 billion by 2030. 

The agribusiness sector in Queensland has long been a destination for agricultural investment. The wealth of knowledge and expertise has continued to attract investors to reap the benefits of a robust industry sector, that not only underpins food and fibre security, but also providing the input for new and emerging sectors.
