Australia has a very strong stonefruit industry (cherries, peaches, apricots, nectarines, etc) while the tropical areas supply pineapples, mangoes, and bananas.

Sugar cane is a significant industry in the eastern and north-eastern regions.

Australia grows a lot of cereal crops - wheat, barley, oats for example and also leguminous crops - beans, lentils, chickpeas, as well as oilseed crops such as rapeseed (canola), safflower and sunflower.

Livestock are also "grown" and bred in Australia. Beef cattle is a thriving food industry, as are sheep for meat ("fat lambs"), pigs and poultry. Given that milk is a food, one should also include dairy cattle in the list.
