Transforming Australia’s agricultural export services

Australia’s agricultural export services are changing for the better.

We’re making it easier for producers and exporters to send their goods to market.

We’ve allocated over half a billion dollars to agricultural trade reform. This will help us develop:

  • modern and connected digital services
  • streamlined regulation and improved service delivery for exporters
  • better access to overseas markets.

Benefits

Some improvements will benefit all exporters. Others help with challenges in specific commodities.
