Organic Livestock and Poultry Farming in Australia - Industry Market Research Report

Bountiful Harvest: Increasing Disposable Incomes and Health Concerns Are Boosting Demand

Revenue for the Organic Livestock and Poultry Farming industry has grown moderately over the past five years. Consumers' acceptance of organic products as a healthy food option has supported revenue growth over the period. In particular, organic meat has surged in popularity, contributing to the industry's rapid expansion. However, drought conditions have severely affected supply, particularly over the two years through 2018-19, constraining growth. As a result, industry revenue is expected to rise at an annualised 2.8% over the five years through 2021-22, to $770.6 million. Mostly positive demand conditions have supported industry profitability. However, rising costs and an influx of new entrants over the past three years have led to profit margins declining over the past five years.

Farms in the industry produce certified organic livestock or poultry. Organic farming is free of synthetic chemicals, fertilisers or genetically modified organisms.
