Production Context

On average, the region produces about 40% of South

Australia’s wheat, 24% of barley, and 22% of canola.

Approximately 97% of the region’s grain crop is exported.
On average, the region produces 100% of SA’s Southern

Bluefin Tuna, 100% of marine finfish, 97% of the State’s

ysters, 92% of mussels, and about 62% of abalone.
The regional contribution to South Australia’s mining

sector has yet to be calculated, but with 79.2% mining industry growth since 2001 and numerous projects close to operation, this contribution is anticipated to escalate in future years.
