Australia's wheat production is set to reach an estimated 319 lakh tonnes (31.9 million tonnes) during the 2024-25 season, according to the country's government agency ABARES. This is a 60,000-tonne increase from the previous estimate in September. The country has planted wheat on 130.60 lakh hectares (1.3 million hectares), with varying crop conditions across different regions. The weather has been generally favorable in some areas, helping boost production potential despite some adverse conditions in others.

Here are the specific expected production figures by state:

• New South Wales: 124 lakh tonnes
• Western Australia: 107.50 lakh tonnes
• Victoria: 34.50 lakh tonnes
• South Australia: 30 lakh tonnes
• Queensland: 22.30 lakh tonnes
• Tasmania: 60,000 tonnes

Australia ranks among the top five wheat exporters globally, alongside Russia, the USA, Canada, and France. The main destinations for Australian wheat exports are Southeast Asia and Far-East Asia, with countries like Indonesia, Vietnam, China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines being significant markets. Additionally, Australia exports to Central Asia, West Asia, and South Asia, though India imports only small quantities.
