What are the main crops grown in Australia?

Answer 1

The main crop grown in Australia is wheat.

Because of Australia's range of climates, the country is able to grow nearly any crop here as long as there is water available to do it and the soil is suitable. Greengrocers in Australia offer a fantastic array of fruit and vegetables, most of which are locally grown. There is a huge variety of fruits and vegetables - apples, Oranges, melons, citrus, tropical, Pears, potatoes, onions, salad vegetables, carrots, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, tomatoes - anything you can imagine. 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.

Corn is an increasingly popular food crop, as is rice, although the latter requires large amounts of water to be diverted from the river system.
