Victoria's climate and soils suit vegetable production with growers growing root vegetables in deep sands and crucifers in the heavier clay-loams across the southern half of the state and along the Murray river.

Much of our vegetable seed is grown in central Victoria and vegetables for processing in Gippsland.

The following maps and tables have been summarised from the latest ABS census reports.
