Global AgInvesting Forum to Make Its Australian Debut in 2026

The Global AgInvesting (GAI) forum is set to occur in Australia for the first time in June 2026, marking a significant milestone for the event known for connecting stakeholders in the agricultural investment sector.

A Brief Overview of GAI

For over 17 years, GAI has gathered industry leaders from key financial centers like New York, Tokyo, and London. It serves as a convergence point for experts in primary industries, institutional investors, and agribusiness executives, fostering dialogue and investment opportunities.

Each year, a substantial number of Australian agriculture sector representatives, including financiers and fund managers, travel to New York to attend the forum. This consistent engagement highlights Australia’s growing importance in the global agricultural landscape.

Why Brisbane?

According to a GAI spokesperson, several factors influenced the decision to host the event in Brisbane:

“The Australian agriculture market offers investors distinct advantages, including abundant natural resources, a favorable climate, and diverse primary industries,” they stated.

“Brisbane was chosen for its dynamic agricultural environment, strong global connectivity, and leadership in sustainable practices, making it an ideal venue for engaging with international investors.”

Government Support and Challenges

The state government is backing the event, despite Queensland being the only state in Australia that imposes a tax on foreign investors. This tax has led some large agricultural firms to consider moving their investments to other states, prompting significant discussions within the sector.

Event Details

Scheduled for June 10-11, 2026, the GAI will also host regional investor tours two days prior to the main event, aiming to enhance engagement with over 700 delegates expected to attend from around the globe.
