6. Other agricultural commodities

A tremendous variety of agricultural commodities are produced in the Murray-Darling Basin . Many are produced on a much smaller but specialised scale and are very important at the local or regional level. In parts of Victoria ’s Ovens Valley , tobacco and hops are grown and both make a distinct visual impact on the landscape. Almonds are grown in the Riverland. Some commodities are not associated with particular locations in quite the same way as the ones covered above, for example, honey, horse studs, alpacas, and angora goats.
