(a) GVA is equal to GRP less net taxes on products. GVA is used to analyse industry composition of regional production as there is no adequate method to allocate taxes less subsidies on products across industries. As a result, these percentages should not be used to distribute statistical division GRP in calculating industry-level estimates. For further information please review the source publication.

Agricultural production Agriculture, forestry and fishing accounted for 18.0% of all businesses registered in the Livingstone (S) in 2012-13. Almost four-fifths (79.9%) of these businesses were non-employing and almost half (46.0%) had a turnover of less than $50,000.

(a) It is not currently possible to account for those businesses which operate out of several locations, other than at their main location. This is particularly relevant for larger businesses, which commonly establish outlets in numerous states and regions across Australia. The reason for this is that data pertaining to individual business locations are not currently available from the Australian Bureau of Statistics Business Register. Users should therefore be aware of this limitation when using counts of businesses included in this table.

The total gross value of agricultural production in the Livingstone (S) in 2010-11 was $72.2 million, or 9.4% of the Fitzroy Statistical Division.

Cattle and calves slaughtered accounted for 6.6% of the Fitzroy SA4 gross agricultural production.

Queensland Commodity Exports Queensland commodity exports are those which had a final stage of production or manufacture in Queensland. There are two trade ports located in the Fitzroy Statistical Division: Gladstone and Rockhampton. The value of overseas commodity exports originating in Queensland and exported from Fitzroy regional ports in 2012-13 was $8,716.2 million, 19.9% of the total value of Queensland’s merchandise exports ($43,711.7 million)

In dollar value terms in 2012-13, coal, coke and briquettes was the main type of Queensland-produced commodity exported from the Fitzroy Statistical Division ports (51.4%), followed by combined confidential items of trade (38.0%) and non-ferrous metals (8.0%). The specialisation ratio reflects the importance of a commodity exported from the region compared with Queensland as a whole. The major commodity with the highest specialisation ratio for the Fitzroy Statistical Division ports was combined confidential items (2.1), followed by crude fertilisers (1.3) and coal, coke and briquettes (1.2).
