CURRENT PROJECTS
As the peak body for the Agritech sector – AusAgritech is uniquely placed to gather and analyse data and develop a platform to distribute it. The survey project and platform will help everyone to better understand the sector.
FINDEX, together with AUSTRADE and Agriculture Victoria are powering AusAgritech to deliver the InsightsX Platform where all ecosystem players can empower themselves with intelligence about the agritech ecosystem. We will also deliver results and analysis from the Australian Agritech Ecosystem Survey that will deliver the intelligence the agritech ecosystem requires to lead the transformation of the agri-food supply chain.
We know Agriculture and the agri-food supply chain is a vital contributor to Australia’s economy. The gross value of Australian agriculture is set to hit $73 billion in 2021 and makes up over 10 percent of total Australian export markets.
Technology-related opportunities delivered by the Australian agritech sector are required if Agriculture is to produce more, at greater value so that the sector reaches $100 billion by 2030. The development of Australia focused agritech and its implementation also underpins Australian agriculture and landholders demonstrating climate credentials and Australia meeting its climate commitments.
AusAgritech is committed to engaging on behalf of the wider agrifood tech and agrifood supply chain to drive recognition and profile of the sector on a federal level.
AusAgritech has made strides in driving the sector forward, including acknowledgment in the Digital Foundation for Agriculture Strategy and advocating for strategy in government to ensure that agritech has the necessary support and Federal coordination to deliver better outcomes for farmers and producers. We are in conversation with key parties in federal and state government, industry bodies, research groups, investors and other members of the agrifood supply chain and adjacent sectors including climate tech, green tech, clean tech and more to ensure that our sector is well represented and supported by policy.
The Association is committed to continuing this work, and is looking to continue to inspire the acceleration of the sector with robost federal policies and initiatives that support the development of the agrifood tech sector, which has the potential to add $40Bn per annum value accretion to the Australian economy.
AusAgritech Members are able to express interest in joining the Policy & Advocacy Working Group for 2022 and beyond.

AusAgritech Association calls on federal MPs to develop a cohesive national agritech sector strategy in Election Statement
In our Election Statement, which was released in February 2022, AusAgritech doubled down on the agrifoot tech ecosystem’s call to the federal government to support the Australian agritech sector through the development of a cohesive, national, cross-departmental strategy.
Agritech is a standalone sector which applies technology to the agri-food supply chain, and contemporaneously crosses over into energy, water, sustainability, environment, climate and emissions reduction. The technology developed and commercialised by the Australian agritech sector is critical to Australia reaching its ambitions for productivity, sustainability, digitalisation, jobs growth and emissions reduction.
