Agforce Queensland Farmers Ltd

Agforce Queensland Farmers Ltd is a peak nonprofit organisation representing rural producers in Queensland, Australia. Established in 1999, it was formed through the merger of three predecessor organisations: the Cattlemen's Union of Australia, the Queensland Graingrowers Association, and the United Graziers' Association. These organisations united to create a single, cohesive voice for broadacre agricultural producers across Queensland[1].

Purpose and Activities

Agforce exists to promote the long-term growth, viability, competitiveness, and profitability of Queensland's broadacre industries, which include cattle, grain, sugarcane, sheep, and wool production[1][5]. The organisation advocates on behalf of its members on agricultural and political issues and aims to advance sustainable agribusiness practices. It provides important information, communication, and training programs designed to educate both its members and the wider community about agricultural practices and challenges[2].

Membership and Reach

Agforce represents over 6,500 farmers, individuals, and businesses who collectively manage approximately 51.6 million hectares of agricultural land. This represents about 35% of all agricultural land in Queensland and around 30% of the mainland state territory, positioning Agforce as a substantial stakeholder in Queensland's rural economy[1][5].

Values and Approach

Agforce prioritises credibility, trustworthiness, and professionalism in its operations, building confidence through high-quality services and communications. The organisation fosters strong connections with its membership base through accessible and approachable communication channels, encouraging interaction and engagement[1].

Historical Context

The founding of Agforce in 1999 was motivated by the desire to consolidate the representation of broadacre producers under a united banner. By merging the distinct organisations that previously represented specific agricultural sectors, Agforce created a more powerful platform to address the needs and challenges faced by rural producers in Queensland[1].

Significance

Queensland's cane, beef, grain, sheep, and wool industries collectively generate significant economic value—estimated in the billions of Australian dollars annually—and Agforce plays a crucial role in supporting and advocating for these industries. The organisation's efforts contribute not only to agricultural productivity but also to the social and economic fabric of rural and regional communities throughout Queensland[5].


This organisation exemplifies the collective advocacy and support structures that underpin Australia's agricultural sector, ensuring its ongoing development and sustainability within a complex and evolving economic landscape.
