The Department of Primary Industry, Fisheries and Mines:
Northern Territory is blessed with rich land, sea and mineral resources, enjoys a consistently robust economy and strong population growth. Its Top End is the envy of farmers Australia-wide for its guaranteed wet season rainfall, that nourishes premium crops and livestock destined for burgeoning domestic and offshore markets.
The Department of Primary Industry, Fisheries and Mines (DPIFM) is the government agency responsible for facilitating industry development in these three vital economic sectors, ensuring the optimal use of the Territory's fisheries, primary industries, mineral and energy resources.
The combined value of our rural and fishing sectors exceeds $500 million a year, accounting for nearly 3% of Gross State Product (GSP), although mining is the giant of Territory industries, grossing an annual $2.3 billion, contributing 20% of GSP.
The industries we service impact on the economic and social well-being of thousands of owners, managers, employees, service people and families in urban and rural communities, across all Northern Territory regions and climatic zones.
The department's multi-skilled specialist team of scientists, researchers, technicians, extension officers and support staff, have used vision and commitment to help put the Territory on the world map in terms of research, development, production and supply of our diverse resources.
