Queensland's tropical and subtropical climate makes it Australia's main producer of a variety of broadacre crops, vegetables, citrus, tropical and exotic fruits. The normally moist summer conditions, compared with the relatively dry summers in other states, have contributed to a considerable increase in the production of summer-growing crops such as grain sorghum, peanuts, sunflowers and soybeans.
