Best Answer

Yes, it can.

Because of Australia's range of climates and soil types, the country is able to grow nearly any crop. Greengrocers in Australia offer a fantastic array of fruit and vegetables, most of which are locally grown. Sugar cane is a significant industry in the eastern and north-eastern regions.

Australia grows a lot of cereal crops - wheat, barley, oats for example and also leguminous crops - beans, lentils, chickpeas. Corn and rice are also grown.

Livestock is important: beef cattle is a thriving industry, as are sheep for meat ("fat lambs"), pigs, poultry and dairy cattle.

The wool industry in Australia remains strong, and cotton is also grown.

The manufacturing industry is solid in many areas. Almost every conceivable mineral or metal is mined, and this supports the manufacturing industry. In addition, Australia has substantial reserves of coal, natural gas and oil.
