Queensland will host the first Global AgInvesting conference to be held in the Southern Hemisphere in June of next year.
The world’s premier conference for agricultural investors is the longest running and largest gathering of agriculture investment stakeholders.
The conference which will be hosted in Brisbane in June 2026 will boost the State Government’s target to increase the value of primary production to $30 billion by 2030.
The event will facilitate connections between institutional investors, fund managers, and agribusiness leaders to provide new investment opportunities into agribusiness, AgTech, infrastructure, and sustainable agriculture.
Minister for Primary Industries Tony Perrett said the event was a gateway to introduce billions of dollars in investment into Queensland’s primary industries.
“Queensland is the beating heart of primary industries in this country — we grow a quarter of Australia’s primary produce and are leading the way in AgTech adoption,” Minister Perrett said.
“The $30 million Sowing the Seeds of Farming Innovation Fund is a testament to our commitment to continued investment in Queensland’s $23.4 billion primary industries sector.
“Brisbane has proven itself to be host of choice, having just successfully welcomed thousands of people in the agrifood innovation community at AgriFutures Australia’s evokeAG 2025 in February.
“The decision to have Global AgInvesting in Queensland is another vote of confidence that we are on the path to reach our target of $30 billion in primary industries production by 2030.”
Global AgInvesting Portfolio Director Jonathan Levin expressed his enthusiasm for hosting the inaugural Global AgInvesting Australia event in Queensland.
“We are delighted to collaborate with the Queensland Government to introduce Global AgInvesting to Australia for the first time,” Mr Levin said.
“The selection of Queensland as the location for the inaugural Global AgInvesting Australia is highly appropriate, considering Queensland’s scale in primary industries across three climate zones and proximity to Asia-Pacific markets.
