Agfest conservatively contributes up to $26 million into the Tasmanian economy each year, with hundreds of businesses relying on Agfest trade and leads to underpin additional business profitability.
For the organisers, aged 15-30 years they develop a wide range of skills, including leadership, teamwork, time management, stakeholder engagement and event organisation.

The organisation and Agfest continue to develop the confidence, skills and capacity of the State’s young rural leaders as they connect, learn and love tackling the mammoth task of organising the legendary annual Agfest field day.
