Primary Industries and Regions SA (PIRSA) is a key economic development agency, with a crucial role in ensuring the prosperity of South Australia’s primary industries and regions. South Australia’s agriculture, food, wine and forestry industries are a vital part of the state’s economy, our largest export sector and a major employer. In 2014–15, they generated about $21 billion in revenue, accounted for 52% of the state’s merchandise exports, and employed up to 150,000 people or one in five working South Australians. Our regions also make a substantial contribution to the State’s economy, not only through agribusiness but also through mining and minerals processing, manufacturing, tourism and energy production.
