Queensland's agriculture lobby groups have criticised the state budget as lacking vision, despite an overall rise in the amount of money spent on agriculture.
The Queensland Agriculture and Fisheries budget is $481.7 million for 2018-19, up $57 million compared to last year, and will focus on biosecurity and drought relief.
Queensland Farmers' Federation CEO Travis Tobin said, while the Government had delivered on its election commitments, this year's budget did not tackle crucial competitiveness and productivity issues that would allow Queensland producers to compete domestically and internationally.
