Abstract
The Great Southern region spans over 3.9 million hectares, with agriculture, forestry, fishing, tourism, and viticulture vital to its economy. Key industries include broadacre crops, livestock, horticulture, viticulture, and aquaculture. Rainfall varies, impacting crop production, which has shifted from wheat to barley. The region demonstrates growth in free-range poultry, pork, and wine, with significant export opportunities and ongoing diversification.
