# Record highs as ag, fish and forestry sectors crack $100 billion - DAFF

> ABARES forecasts Australia's agriculture, fisheries and forestry production at a record A$101.6 billion for 2025-26, driven mainly by high livestock prices. Crop production value is forecast to dip slightly as wheat output and prices ease, though barley and pulses are rising. Agriculture exports are forecast at A$74.6 billion, the third-highest on record.

## Why it matters

Strong Australian livestock prices and output support beef, lamb and milk values, while slightly lower wheat production trims export supply. The effect on feed-grain prices is modest.
