Improving agricultural statistics

The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment is committed to delivering accurate, timely and reliable analysis and data about Australian agriculture. As the department’s research arm, ABARES is working with the Australian Bureau of Statistics to modernise the agricultural statistics system. Modernisation will ensure the long term sustainability of the system by reducing survey burden, particularly for farmers, reducing data collection costs and improving the quality of statistics.

For more information on the modernisation process and latest news, visit the Improving agricultural statistics webpage.

Australian Agricultural Census 2015-16 visualisations

This series of visualisations is based on the most recent agricultural census data collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) for 2015-16.

The visualisations are designed to showcase the Agricultural Census data in a simple and intuitive way – as maps and charts with a focus on national, state and regional summaries for:

  • Gross value of production
  • Production including the area planted or harvested, production and number of livestock or trees
  • Number of businesses
  • Water use
  • Land management practices

Farm Data Portal - Beta

The ABARES Farm Data Portal is an interactive visual tool that displays the full suite of information collected in ABARES broadacre and dairy farm surveys, along with information and analysis from other ABARES farm data research.

You can use the tool to see historical results from those surveys, forecasts of farm financial performance, modelled results from the ABARES farmpredict model, and agricultural productivity estimates.

The Farm Data Portal is currently in public beta release.

Databases

The Farm Data Portal is an interactive tool containing data from ABARES surveys of broadacre and dairy farms, and outputs from those surveys all in the one location.
