AgForce is a peak organisation representing Queensland’s rural producers, which strives to ensure the long term growth, viability, competitiveness and profitability of broad acre industries of cattle, grain, sheep and wool in Queensland.

Our Purpose:
Advance Sustainable Agribusiness

Our History
AgForce was born out of the need for a single, united voice for broadacre producers with the merging of the Cattlemen’s Union of Australia (CU), the Queensland Graingrowers Association (QGGA) and the United Graziers’ Association (UGA) in 1998.

The Cattlemen’s Union of Australia (CU), the Queensland Graingrowers Association (QGGA) and the United Graziers’ Association (UGA) each represented their respective members on agripolitical issues. Together, the three groups had a vision of bringing broadacre producers in a single, unified association. This organisation is now known as AgForce Queensland Farmers Limited.

AgForce’s success has been built on the strengths of its predecessor organisations, but it has also embraced many different philosophies in its aim to ensure the long term growth, viability, competitiveness and profitability of broadacre industries.

Our Staff 
AgForce’s team of dedicated policy officers and support staff are based in Brisbane and the regional offices – if you have questions or feedback, contact us.
