The challenges facing Australia’s vegetable, potato, and onion growers in 2024 have been significant, with rising costs, labour shortages, and tight margins continuing to impact the industry.
Findings from the AUSVEG Vegetable Industry Sentiment Report highlight the seriousness of the situation:
• 34% of growers are considering leaving the industry within the next 12 months.
• 50% of growers are financially worse off than the previous year.
• Financial pressures have forced many to delay critical investments in infrastructure, innovation, and sustainability.
To ensure AUSVEG can continue to advocate effectively for the industry, we’re calling on all growers to participate in the 2025 Vegetable Industry Sentiment Survey. Your feedback will provide crucial insights that inform government and industry decisions, especially with the upcoming Federal Election.
Participation is anonymous, and your voice will help shape the priorities that AUSVEG takes to politicians, industry leaders, and media.
