The main outputs from the collection will include: estimates of activity (as outlined above); and estimates of population participation (counts) by activity (as outlined above) for in-scope agricultural businesses throughout the 2008-09 financial year.

As with past surveys, estimates will be available by;

    • commodity,
    • Estimated Value of Agricultural Operations (EVAO),
    • Area of Holding ranges, and
    • Australian and New Zealand Standard Industrial Classification (ANZSIC) classes.

Data will be released at the national, state and natural resource management (NRM) levels.
