My department prioritises its spending in line with government policy to promote the development of a competitive and efficient primary agriculture, forestry and seafood sector to support rural and coastal communities to underpin economic development and to ensure that our natural resources are managed in a sustainable way

The main grant schemes operated by my department and their financial allocations for 2018 before adjustment by supplementary estimate are set out in the following table. The table does not include funding to state agencies some of which is in turn distributed to other bodies by way of grant schemes.
