$61 million worth of vegetables are produced by farmers in the Territory. Vegetables under production include but are not limited to:
Production is undertaken by small commercial family farms, located predominately in the Darwin and Katherine regions of the Northern Territory. The majority of production is sold to interstate wholesale markets. Expansion of the sector is limited by the restricted water availability in the Top End region. NT Farmers are committed to ensuring that responsible water allocations provide farmers with enough water for their crops while preserving environmental flows.
NT Farmers association actively engages with vegetable farmers to support their activities and to prevent biosecurity breakouts affecting the industry.
NT Farmers acknowledges the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledges their continuing connection to land, water and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging. This website is made possible thanks to the NT Government's Community Benefit Fund
