AREA OF AUSTRAL IAN FARMS, 2000-01—2010-11

Area of farms in Australia increased in 2010-11, by 3% to 409.7 million hectares, in

contrast to the declining trend of the previous five years. Increases in farm area were

recorded in Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory,

whereas the remaining states and territories recorded a fall in area.

The area planted to crops in Australia rose by 24% in 2010-11 to 32.1 million hectares. All

states recorded an increase in the area planted to crops, with the largest increase

reported in New South Wales, where cropping area increased by 2.3 million hectares (or

33%) to 9.2 million hectares. Proportionally, the largest increase was in the Northern

Territory, where the cropping area increased by over 400% to 37,000 hectares.

Approximately 53% of Australia's total land area was used for agriculture. On a state

basis, Tasmania had the smallest proportion of farm land (24% of state area) while the

highest was in Queensland (81% of state area).

Tables 2 to 4 of this publication categorise businesses with agricultural activity into the

industry that represents the business' main activity, using the Australian and New

Zealand Industrial Classification (ANZSIC), 2006 edition. Where a business' agricultural

activity is not the main activity, it has been included in all other industries. Table 2

presents the information by state and territory, Table 3 by Estimated Value of Agricultural

Operations (EVAO) size ranges and Table 4 presents the information by area of holding

ranges.

In 2010-11, the Agricultural Census revealed that the number of businesses undertaking

agricultural activity had risen to a total of 135,447 businesses, a 1% increase compared

with 2009-10.

Beef cattle farming remained the largest industry class in 2010-11, comprising 32% of

businesses classified to the agriculture industry.

Notable movements in 2010-11 were an increase in the number of businesses with

agricultural activity in citrus fruit growing, up by 23% to 1,125 businesses, and a 25%

increase in apple and pear growing, up to 683 businesses.

There was also a large percentage increase in the number of businesses with their main

agricultural activity in rice and cotton farming, increasing by 175% and 109% respectively.

There was a 9% increase in the total area sown to lupins in 2010-11, with 756,000

hectares sown. The states with the largest area planted to lupins were Western Australia

(522,000 hectares) and New South Wales (128,000 hectares). Likewise, Western Australia

and New South Wales produced the largest amount of lupins, with 398,000 tonnes and

252,000 tonnes respectively. Production decreased nationally by 2% to 808,000 tonnes.

Lupins

The total area sown to sorghum for grain in 2010-11 was 633,000 hectares. This was an

increase of 27% from 2009-10. Queensland's area planted to grain sorghum was the

highest with 435,000 hectares, an increase of 30% from the previous year. Queensland

also recorded the highest production of sorghum (1.2 million tonnes), with an increase

of 28%. Queensland's sorghum production made up 61% of the national total of 1.9

million tonnes. New South Wales also recorded a notable increase in production of 29%

to 748,000 tonnes.

Grain sorghum

The total area sown to barley in 2010-11 decreased by 17% to 3.7 million hectares,

whereas national barley production increased by 2% to 8 million tonnes. Production of

barley increased in all states except Western Australia, down by 39% to 1.5 million

tonnes. New South Wales recorded the highest production of barley (2.2 million tonnes),

which was a 77% increase from the previous year. South Australia and Victoria also

recorded high production levels, with 2.1 million tonnes and 1.9 million tonnes

YIELD, CROPS FOR GRAIN—2009–10 AND 2010–11

Production increased for a number of broadacre crops in 2010-11, in particular cotton

lint, rice, grain sorghum, wheat and canola. Despite major flooding throughout

Queensland and northern New South Wales, rainfall was positive for summer crop

development and boosted yields; however excessive rain affected some crops in low

lying areas, notably cotton. Yields were generally good across most broadacre crops;

however quality of grain was affected in some states as a result of rainfall during harvest.

In 2010-11, parts of Western Australia reported the driest conditions on record, which

resulted in decreases across all broadacre crops except grain sorghum.

In 2010-11, the total area planted to cotton tripled to 588,000 hectares. The states with

the largest area planted to cotton were New South Wales with 330,000 hectares (up by

203%) and Queensland with 259,000 hectares (up by 195%). National production of

cotton lint increased by 140% to 844,000 tonnes. Queensland and New South Wales

reported increases in their cotton lint production, with 150% to 497,000 tonnes and

133% to 346,000 tonnes respectively.

Cotton

The total area planted to sugar cane for crushing decreased by 21% to 308,000 hectares

in 2010-11. Similarly, national production of sugar cane cut for crushing decreased by

19% to 25.2 million tonnes. Total sugar cane production in Queensland decreased by

20% to 23.6 million tonnes, while New South Wales production decreased by 18% to 1.6

million tonnes.

Sugar cane

The total area planted to canola in 2010-11 increased by 23% to 2.1 million hectares.

Similarly, national canola production increased by 24% to 2.4 million tonnes. Production

of canola increased in most states, particularly New South Wales with an increase of

186% to 805,000 tonnes. Western Australia produced the second highest canola crop

with 715,000 tonnes; however this was a decrease of 31% from the previous year. The

states with the largest area planted to canola were Western Australia (1.1 million

hectares), New South Wales (479,000 hectares) and Victoria (323,000 hectares).

Canola

In 2010-11, the total area sown to wheat decreased by 3% to 13.5 million hectares. The

states with the largest area planted to wheat were Western Australia (4.6 million

hectares), New South Wales (3.8 million hectares) and South Australia (2.3 million

hectares). Production of wheat for grain in 2010-11 was 27.4 million tonnes, which was

an increase of 26% from the previous year. Wheat production increased across all states

except Western Australia (down by 38%), with the most substantial increases seen in

New South Wales (up by 96%), South Australia (up by 49%) and Victoria (up by 47%).

The highest level of wheat production was recorded by New South Wales, with 10.4

million tonnes.

Wheat

In 2010-11, the total area sown to rice quadrupled to 76,000 hectares compared with the

previous year, due to increased availability of water for irrigation. Similarly, production

increased by 268% to 723,000 tonnes.

New South Wales planted the majority of rice (75,000 hectares), 99% of the national

total.

Rice

In 2010-11, both the area sown and the production level of oats decreased by 3%. The

total area sown to oats for grain was 826,000 hectares and the total production was 1.1

million tonnes. New South Wales and Western Australia were states with the largest area

planted to oats, sowing 321,000 hectares and 255,000 hectares respectively. New South

Wales also recorded the highest level of production with 469,000 tonnes, which was an

increase of 122%. Several states showed a decrease in production in 2010-11, namely

Western Australia (down by 43%), Victoria (down by 21%) and South Australia (down by

14%).

Oats

Mango production decreased nationally by 17% in 2010-11 to 37,000 tonnes, driven by a

significant decrease in production numbers in New South Wales and Queensland.

Queensland's production, affected by flooding, rainfall and Cyclone Yasi, fell by 34% to

19,000 tonnes and New South Wales's mango production fell by 81% to 83 tonnes.

Queensland and Northern Territory (15,000 tonnes) continued to be the main

contributing states for mango production.

Other fruit and nuts

Australia's total apple production increased by 13% from 2009-10 to 300,000 tonnes. This

was largely influenced by the substantial increase of bearing trees in New South Wales

(up by 27%) and South Australia (up by 54%), resulting in increased production, up by

58% and 37% respectively. Production in Western Australia and Tasmania fell by 22% and

13% respectively. Victoria produced the largest apple crop in Australia with over 129,000

tonnes in 2010-11.

The trend of increasing production of pome fruits in Australia was also exhibited by pear

production, with a 30% increase in 2010-11 from the previous year, to 123,000 tonnes.

The main contributors to this large increase in production were New South Wales (up by

63%), South Australia (up by 41%) and Victoria (up by 34%). The number of pear bearing

trees also increased notably in New South Wales and Victoria, rising by 26% and 17%

respectively. Victoria produced the largest pear crop with over 109,000 tonnes.

Pome

In 2010-11 production of oranges totalled 291,000 tonnes. The decrease of 26% from

2009-10 reflected consistent production decreases in South Australia (down by 30%),

New South Wales (down by 27%) and Victoria (down by 22%). In contrast, the total

number of bearing trees rose by 10% to 7.5 million nationally, evidenced by a substantial

increase in Western Australia (up by 61%) to 265,000 trees.

The total number of bearing mandarin trees increased nationally in 2010-11 by 27% to 1.8

million trees. Production of mandarins also increased by 8% to 98,000 tonnes. A large

decrease in production in New South Wales (down by 20%) was offset by increases in

Queensland (up by 12% to 70,000 tonnes), Victoria (up by 24% to 4,000 tonnes) and

Western Australia (up by 11% to over 2,000 tonnes).

The total production for potatoes in 2010-11 was 1.1 million tonnes. This was a decrease

of 12% from 2009-10.

The national decline was contributed to by Tasmania (252,000 tonnes) down by 24%,

New South Wales (111,000 tonnes) down by 16%, Victoria (237,000 tonnes) down by

14% and Queensland (88,000 tonnes) down by 8%. The total area sown to potatoes in

2010-11 was 32,000 hectares, which was a decrease of 12% from the previous year. South

Australia and Victoria were large growing areas for potatoes at 9,000 hectares and 8,000

hectares respectively.

Potatoes

The total area sown to onions in 2010-11 was 6,000 hectares. This was an increase of 15%

from the previous year. Onions were mainly grown in South Australia (2,000 hectares),

Tasmania (2,000 hectares) and Queensland (1,000 hectares). Production of onions in

2010-11 totalled 331,000 tonnes. In South Australia, production was 130,000 tonnes, a

45% increase from the previous year. Tasmania produced the second largest crop of

onions with 93,000 tonnes. Onion production in Queensland rose by 26% to 37,000

tonnes.

Onions

Mushroom production totalled 50,000 tonnes in 2010-11, a rise of 20% from the previous

year. The largest increases were in Victoria up 20% to 18,000 tonnes, and New South

Wales, also up 20% to 18,000 tonnes offsetting a decrease in mushroom production in

South Australia of 21%, down to just under 3,000 tonnes. Nationally, the area planted to

mushrooms increased by 16% up to 1.6 million square meters.

Mushrooms

National production of carrots in 2010-11 decreased by 16% from 2009-10 to 225,000

tonnes. This is directly correlated with the area sown for carrots in 2010-11, which also

decreased by 16% from the previous year to 5,000 hectares. The states with the highest

carrot production were Western Australia (65,000 tonnes) and Tasmania (54,000 tonnes).

The majority of the carrot producing states displayed a decrease in production levels,

with New South Wales (down by 53%) and Queensland (down by 44%) being the most

notable.

Carrots

Australia's banana production totalled 203,000 tonnes in 2010-11, which was a decrease

of 33% from 2009-10. This decrease was largely due to the destruction caused by Cyclone

Yasi, which struck in early 2011. The damage caused by this cyclone contributed to the

decrease of 48% in Northern Territory's banana production and 35% in Queensland's

banana production. The total bearing area for bananas fell by 3% to 11,000 hectares.

Macadamia production decreased by 9% in 2010-11 despite an increase in the number of

trees. The national decrease was largely due to adverse seasonal conditions causing

decreased production in New South Wales (down by 14% to 16,000 tonnes) and Western

Australia (down by 50% to 35 tonnes), and only a 1% increase in Queensland to 13,000

tonnes.

In 2010-11, the total bearing area of strawberries increased by 60% to over 2,000

hectares, owing to a 137% increase in bearing area in Victoria, where 40% of Australia's

strawberries were produced. Strawberry production increased by 5% to 31,000 tonnes.

Falls of 23% in New South Wales and 15% in Queensland were more than offset by a 62%

rise in Western Australia's strawberry production.

9 Since 2005–06, the ABS has used an economic statistics units model on the ABS'

Business Register (ABSBR) to describe the characteristics of businesses and the structural

relationships between related businesses. The units model is used within large and

diverse business groups to define reporting units that can provide data to the ABS at a

suitable level. The ABSBR is based on the Australian Business Register (ABR) which is

administered and maintained by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

10 Respondents to the 2010–11 Agricultural Census were businesses undertaking

agricultural activity drawn from the ABS Business Register.

8 The industry classification used in this publication is the 2006 version of the

Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC). Prior to the

2005–06 issue of this publication, estimates were based on the ANZSIC 1993 edition.

ANZSIC 2006 was developed to provide a more contemporary industrial classification

system taking into account issues such as changes in the structure and composition of

the economy, changing user demands and compatibility with major international

classification standards. For more information, please refer to Australian and New

Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC), 2006 (cat. no. 1292.0).

3 The Agricultural Census is conducted once every five years, with the Agricultural

Resource Management Survey (ARMS) and the Agricultural Survey (AS) conducted in

alternate years between Censuses. The main objective of the Agricultural Census is to

provide benchmark information on the agriculture sector for small geographic areas.

The 2010-11 Agricultural Census provides estimates for a range of agricultural

commodity items, including broadacre cropping, horticultural production, livestock and

land preparation. Care should be taken when comparing estimates over time as not all

categories directly align between years. For example, a greater range of commodity

items was collected for the 2010-11 Agricultural Census in comparison to the previous

2009-10 ARMS. Commodity information for the 2009-10 ARMS year is included where

possible.

4 Agricultural water use data collected as part of the 2010–11 Agricultural Census will

be released in Water Use on Australian Farms (cat. no. 4618.0). Data related to the

gross and local values of production of major agricultural commodities for all states will

be released in Value of Agricultural Commodities Produced, Australia (cat. no. 7503.0).

5 Where figures have been rounded, discrepancies may occur between sums of the

component items and totals.

1 This publication contains final estimates for the main commodities collected in the

2010–11 Agricultural Census. Included are statistics on land use, industry activity, crop

and horticultural area and production, and livestock numbers.

2 Data at sub-state geographies such as Murray Darling Basin (MDB), Natural Resource

Management (NRM) region, Statistical Division (SD), Statistical Local Area (SLA),

Statistical Area 4 (SA4), Statistical Area 2 (SA2), River Basin and Drainage Division

geographical levels will be released as separate datacubes attached to this publication in

August 2012.

15 The estimates in this publication are based on information obtained from the

agricultural businesses that responded to the Agricultural Census. However, since not all

of the businesses that were selected provided data, the estimates are subject to sampling

variability; that is, they may differ from the figures that would have been produced if all

businesses had provided data. One measure of the likely difference is given by the

standard error (SE) which indicates the extent to which an estimate might vary by

chance because only a sample was taken or had responded. There are about two chances

in three that a 'sample' estimate will differ by less than one SE from the figure that would

have been obtained if all businesses had responded, and about nineteen chances in

twenty that the difference will be less than two SEs.

16 In this publication, 'sampling' variability of the estimates is measured by the relative

standard error (RSE) which is obtained by expressing the SE as a percentage of the

estimate to which it refers.

17 Most published national estimates have RSEs less than 5%. For some states with

limited production of certain commodities, RSEs are greater than 10%. Estimates that

have an estimated RSE between 10% and 25% are annotated with the symbol '^'. These

estimates should be used with caution as they are subject to sampling variability too high

for some purposes. Estimates with an RSE between 25% and 50% are annotated with the

symbol '*', indicating that the estimate should be used with caution as it is subject to

sampling variability too high for most practical purposes. Estimates with an RSE greater

than 50% are annotated with the symbol '**' indicating that the sampling variability

causes the estimates to be considered too unreliable for general use. Separate indication

of the RSEs of all estimates is available on request.

18 A table with RSEs for selected commodities follows:

11 The scope of the 2010–11 Agricultural Census included all businesses undertaking

agricultural activity recorded on the ABS Business Register (ABSBR) above a minimum

size cut–off of $5,000.

12 The measure of size was based on the ABS' Estimated Value of Agricultural

Operations (EVAO) or a derived value based on Business Activity Statement (BAS)

turnover if EVAO was not available.

13 While the ABSBR does not include all agricultural businesses in Australia, it provides

improved coverage from the former ABS maintained Agricultural Survey frame, as most

businesses and organisations in Australia need to obtain an Australian Business Number

(ABN) from the ABR for their business operations. The ABR based register is also more

up–to–date as it excludes agricultural businesses with cancelled ABNs and incorporates

regularly updated information on agricultural businesses from the ABR and ATO.

14 For the 2010–11 Agricultural Census, a response rate of 88% was achieved from an

in–scope population of approximately 165,000 agricultural businesses. This was the first

agricultural collection to use an e-form, and the e-form achieved a take up rate of 11%.
