Figures in parentheses are standard errors expressed as a percentage of the estimate provided Source: ABARES Australian Agricultural and Grazing Industries Survey The average farm cash income of beef industry farms in 2013–14 and 2014–15 varies across regions, partly as a consequence of the differences in average herd size within the regions. Farm cash income in the Barkly region where large herd size farms predominate is estimated to have averaged $2.6 million in 2013–14 and is projected increase to $3.3 million 2014–15 (Table 3). Farm cash income is projected to increase in all regions, not just those traditionally most reliant on live cattle exports, such the Victoria River District-Katherine and Top End Darwin and the Gulf, but also the Alice Springs District which has low reliance on live cattle exports.
