Trade

The Australian pork industry is the only food industry operating in a global market in the true sense. The industry competes in the export arena, with markets in Asia, and products are imported into Australia from North America and Europe.

There is huge potential to exploit growing demand for pork meat. Over several years, APL has taken part in the Australian Government's industry consultations to negotiate FTAs with our major trade partners to reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers to provide greater export opportunities.

Free Trade Agreements (FTAs)
APL is committed to reducing tariff and non-tariff bariers in overseas markets. This committment requires the negotiation of FTAs and advances in the World Trad Organisation (WTO) Doha round. Australia already has FTAs with New Zealand, Singaore, Thailand and the United States.
