Our business

Queensland´s primary industries provide more than $13 billion to the Australian economy annually and encompass the full range of production activities in the food, fibre, lifestyle, forestry and fisheries sectors.

We have a vision of 'profitable primary industries for Queensland', and supporting strategic industry development at all stages of the industry life cycle and throughout the entire value chain from production to consumption.

Our mission is to maximise the economic potential for Queensland's primary industries on a sustainable basis.

We deliver this through four major outputs:

  • industry development
  • biosecurity
  • forestry
  • fisheries.

In achieving this, we strive to ensure Queensland´s primary industries support sustainable production systems and use best practice in water management and water allocation, vegetation and pest management, and chemical use.

We continue to work with industry to establish a sophisticated export strategy while simultaneously providing enhanced trade and export opportunities through strategic research and development capacity.

Profitable primary industries create jobs, expand Queensland´s export markets and support economic growth.

At present, much of the our business activity is directed by the Queensland Government's Blueprint for the Bush, a 10-year plan for investment in rural Queensland.
