Abstract: To measure the value of the South Australian agrifood industry over time, food industry output, in terms of revenue along the value chain from production to consumption, is monitored. The agrifood industry is examined at the following levels: the farm gate, processor turnover, export and import (overseas and interstate trade classified as commodity and processed products), and consumption including food retail and food service (cafes and restaurants). Results are reported annually as the SA Food Industry ScoreCard. The analysis indicates that in 1999-2000 the Gross Value of the South Australian Food Industry is $7.22 billion (calculated by the contribution made at export, retail and food service levels).
