Melbourne Agriculture

Melbourne’s agricultural network extends well beyond the metropolitan centre, linking intensive vegetable production in Werribee South with egg farms, wholesale horticulture, rural suppliers, diagnostic services and produce markets around the city. The entries below provide practical starting points for growers, smallholders, livestock keepers, nurseries, food businesses and others working with primary production across Melbourne and its wider service catchment.

The region’s agriculture includes field-grown vegetables, eggs, cut flowers and nursery plants, supported by wholesale trading, farm supply businesses, industry representation and specialist testing. Several listed enterprises are trade-only or serve registered market participants, so their access arrangements are worth checking before making contact.
