Primary Industries Future Forward Fund
Friday 5 June 2026 Primary industries
The Malinauskas Government is investing $8 million over 4 years to advance the prosperity, sustainability and resilience of South Australia’s primary producers.
The Primary Industries Future Forward Fund will support research and innovation that benefits our state’s grain growers, seafood producers, livestock and dairy farmers, wine producers, horticulturalists and timber industries.
As a leader in agricultural innovation, South Australia has a generational chance to capitalise on economic opportunities arising from the transition to a green economy.
The Future Forward Fund will assist our primary industries to:
- Invest in research and development, innovation, and cutting-edge technologies;
- Promote South Australian products and support businesses to respond to environmental and market pressures;
- Increase sustainability and implement greener practices throughout the supply chain;
- And improve preparedness for environmental disruptions, biosecurity threats and other emerging issues.
The Future Forward Fund builds on the successful model of the South Australian Wood Fibre and Timber Industry Master Plan, which will now form part of the new fund. The new funding will be extended to other primary industries including livestock, seafood, grains, horticulture and wine.
