Potato, vegetable and associated industries

These industries cover a wide range of crops from green peas and beans to carrots and brassicas, as well as encompassing poppies and pyrethrum. Much of the produce from vegetable and potato industries are processed into frozen vegetables and French fries, with some fresh produce being sold on the local, interstate and overseas markets.
