Superior Quality and Health & Safety Standards

Australia is well known for its “clean and green” farming techniques. Australia’s food safety standards (FSANZ) are among the strictest in the world. This means minimal use of herbicides and pesticides by crop farmers and also limited use of growth hormones by meat producers. Our food factories are held to very high quality standards.

Trade Relationships

Australian exporters are experienced in international trade. About two-thirds of all agricultural production is exported due to Australia’s relatively small population. Australia is well connected with the major markets having Free Trade Agreements with China, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, United States, Chile and Peru. Multi-lateral agreements include: ASEAN and the TPP. Australia is a reliable supplier with a strong rule of law and high ethical standards.
