The Northern Territory Agriculture Association (NTAgA) represents a diverse range of
primary producers throughout the Top End of the NT.
Many of our members run mixed
farming operations involving hay, improved pasture and cattle production aimed at the livecattle
export market.
Other enterprises include dryland and irrigated hay and grain production, large horticultural enterprises and forestry operations.
Increasingly producers
and companies are looking to diversify their businesses and develop irrigated enterprises to
grow niche crops targeted at the southern market.
There is increasing pressure to develop
more land and associated water resourced in the Top End as individuals and companies look
to the north for agricultural business opportunities.
