About agriIQ
Agricultural conditions intelligence for Australia
What is agriIQ?
agriIQ is a real-time agricultural conditions dashboard built for agri-lenders, rural financial advisers, and agricultural analysts. It aggregates publicly available data from Australian government agencies into a single, scored view of farming conditions across the country.
By combining commodity prices, seasonal weather data, input costs, export conditions, credit markets, and biosecurity alerts into a unified 0–100 scoring system, agriIQ helps professionals quickly assess agricultural risk and opportunity without manually checking dozens of separate government reports.
How Scoring Works
The agriIQ composite score is a weighted average of seven condition dimensions, each scored 0–100. A higher score indicates more favourable conditions for Australian agriculture.
Score Bands
- Above 60 — Favourable conditions
- 40–60 — Mixed or neutral conditions
- Below 40 — Challenging conditions
Seven Dimensions
- Farm Profitability — ABARES farm survey estimates and terms of trade
- Commodity Prices — ABARES, MLA, AWI, CME market data across 8 commodities
- Seasonal Conditions — BOM rainfall, soil moisture, seasonal outlook
- Input Cost Pressure — ABS Producer Price Index, fuel, fertiliser indices
- Export Conditions — ABARES trade data, ABS trade statistics, AUD/USD
- Credit & Lending — RBA cash rate, agricultural lending rates
- Biosecurity — DAFF pest/disease alerts and trade risk flags
Each dimension is scored independently using the latest available data, then combined into a single composite score. Regional scores weight dimensions by their relevance to each state's dominant agricultural sectors.
Data Sources
All data is sourced from authoritative Australian government agencies:
- ABARES — Agricultural outlooks, farm surveys, exports
- Bureau of Meteorology — Rainfall, seasonal conditions
- Reserve Bank of Australia — Interest rates, credit data
- DAFF — Biosecurity alerts, trade access
- Australian Bureau of Statistics — Producer prices, CPI
Data Refresh Schedule
agriIQ runs an automated data pipeline daily at 4:00 PM AEST. The pipeline fetches the latest data from all five government sources, recalculates dimension scores, and updates the dashboard.
AI-generated narratives (commodity outlooks, farm impact analyses, lender briefs, and forward outlook horizons) are regenerated daily at 4:30 PM AEST using the freshly ingested data.
