Because of Australia's range of climates and soil types, the country is able to grow nearly any crop. 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.
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.
Corn is an increasingly popular food crop, as is rice, believe it or not.
