<strong>Kangaroo</strong> <strong>Island</strong> Futures Authority Draft Economic Impact of Agriculture and Tourismthe allocation of employment by sector is an estimate based on the 2011 Census of Populationand Housing. Because many farms are mixed enterprise operations many people work acrosssectors and it is not possible to attribute that employment with a high degree of confidence.More confidence, however, can be placed in the aggregate employment data.Table 6.4Direct impact of agricultural production (adjusted), 2011 (nominal dollars)Gross Value ofCommodityProductionGRP Employment$m $m fteSheep 42.5 18.5 370Grains 12.4 5.4 70Beef 5.2 2.2 121Poultry 1.2 0.6 27Other Livestock 0.8 0.4 27Winegrapes 0.3 0.2 9Vegetables 4.4 2.2 12Other Agriculture 2.6 1.3 4Total Agriculture 69.4 30.8 639Source: ABS (2012g) and EconSearch analysis.The definition of the agriculture value chain is consistent with that employed in PIRSA’s Foodfor the Future value-chain analysis. The following stages in the marketing chain have,therefore, been included in the direct economic impact:• the direct value of agricultural output (gross value of production) 3 ; and• downstream impacts, including the net value of local (i.e. regional) agriculturalproducts processing and the net value of local retail and food service (e.g. hotels &restaurants) trade in these products.Estimates of the net value of local processing margins and retail and food service trademargins were derived from PIRSA’s Scorecard for the region for 2005/06 (PIRSA, pers. comm.).Estimates of the economic contribution of the agriculture value chain to the <strong>Kangaroo</strong> <strong>Island</strong>economy in 2011/12 are presented in Table 6.5. The value of locally processed agriculturaloutput was estimated to be approximately $4.7m, whilst retail and food service marginsassociated with trade in these products generated another $3.7m in direct output.3Value of output is a measure of the gross revenue of goods and services produced by commercial organisations(e.g. farm-gate value of production) and gross expenditure by government agencies. Total output needs to beused with care as it can include elements of double counting when the output of integrated industries is addedtogether (e.g. the value of winery output includes the farm-gate value of grapes).e c o n s e a r c hPage| 22
