Minister’s foreword

The food and fibre sector is an important economic driver for Victoria. It contributes an estimated 4.8 per cent to Victoria’s Gross State Product (GSP) and employs 5.3 per cent of the workforce.

The sector generates over 207,000 jobs. Eighty-seven per cent of agricultural employment is concentrated in regional Victoria.

Victorian food and fibre accounts for over 27 per cent of Australian food and fibre exports. A key strength of the sector is its diversity, with several industries doing very well in 2017-18.

In 2017-18, Victoria’s total food and fibre exports were valued at $14.1 billion, up 11 per cent on the $12.8 billion achieved in the previous financial year.

The report details both the quantities and value of Victorian and Australian exports across the range of food and fibre industries.

Victoria continues to contribute strongly to the national dairy sector, maintaining its leading role. Victoria accounts for 79 per cent of the value of Australia‘s dairy exports. Victoria also contributed 45 per cent of Australia’s horticulture exports.

The meat industry had a particularly strong year with exports increasing in value by 37 per cent to a total $3.3 billion, making meat our most valuable food and fibre export for 2017-18.

Our fresh fruit exporters were also significant contributors capitalising on new market access arrangements with China. Food and fibre exports have also grown strongly in North Asia and the Middle East.

The Victorian Government has committed to building the capability of Victorian exporters by:

• strengthening our global profile through promotions, major events and partnerships with industry

• expanding inbound and outbound trade missions to assist businesses gain new export skills, and

• supporting businesses with an expanded network of international Victorian Government Trade and Investment Offices.

While 2017-18 was a strong year for exports, 2018-19 export performance may be affected by the drought and dry seasonal conditions in some parts of the state. The Victorian Government is providing $30 million in support to address the potentially challenging conditions ahead, including infrastructure grants to support drought response and preparedness, financial relief for farm households, health and wellbeing support, small business services and resources for wildlife management.

We have also invested to build resilience in our food and fibre sector, and to deliver high quality products into international markets including:

• a continued commitment to invest in agricultural research, development and extension partnerships across animal and plant production to ensure we remain productive and globally competitive

• investments in irrigation, road and rail infrastructure along the agriculture supply chain to boost Victoria’s productivity and international competitiveness

• $27 million to help farmers capitalise on the opportunities provided by new digital technologies and to deliver on the government’s commitment to make Victoria the AgTech hub of Australia, and

• $17 million on an industry and farmer support package for the electronic National Livestock Identification System for sheep and goats to improve productivity and provide trading partners with increased confidence in the safety and origin of Victorian products.

On behalf of the Victorian Government, I am proud to present Victoria’s latest food and fibre export performance report.

I am greatly encouraged by the outstanding double-digit growth in exports this sector has achieved in the last 12 months.

2 / VICTORIAN FOOD AND FIBRE EXPORT PERFORMANCE REPORT 2017-18

The Victorian Government recently announced the $15 million Taste Victoria initiative to grow the international profile, competitiveness and export opportunities for Victoria’s agri-food sector. This includes Australia’s biggest business food event Global Table, which will promote Victoria as the centre of high quality food production to an international audience.

This will be complemented by a new program, Growing Food and Fibre Markets to deliver targeted market access activities and strategically place Victoria to better capture market opportunities.

Collectively these initiatives will position the Victorian Government to achieve its target to grow Victoria’s food and fibre exports to $20 billion by 2030 and build Victoria’s international reputation as the food centre of Australia.

I congratulate all our food and fibre producers, manufacturers and exporters for their hard work, resilience, innovative spirit and significant contribution to the State of Victoria. I look forward to working with the sector to build on this success.

The Hon. Jaclyn Symes MP Minister for Agriculture Minister for Regional Development Minister for Resources

Victorian food and fibre exports were valued at $14.1 billion in 2017-18, an increase of $1.4 billion on 2016-17. The value of food exports alone, was $10.2 billion, an increase of $1.2 billion on the previous year. The value of fibre products increased by $196 million on the previous year to $3.9 billion.

The value of Victorian food and fibre exports in 2017-18 increased by 11 per cent compared to the previous year. This was accompanied by a one per cent decline in volume, consistent with an increase in high value exports especially meat, animal fibre and dairy which collectively accounted for 53 per cent of the total value of the state’s food and fibre exports.

This report focuses on the export performance of key agricultural commodities (including food manufacturing) and export markets from 2013-14 through to 2017-18.

The data is presented and aggregated by state of origin as opposed to state of loading. State of origin is based on statistics, compiled by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), to identify the Australian state of origin of goods. State of origin is defined by the ABS as the Australian State in which the final stage of production or manufacture occurs (ABS 5489.0 - International Merchandise Trade, Australia, Concepts, Sources and Methods). For further information please see the data and definitions section of this report.

Export Performance by Industry



Case study

Market access to China

During 2017-18, China approved a range of new and improved market access conditions for Australian meat, dairy and horticulture produce. Under the China–Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) and subsequent tariff cuts, Australia’s agricultural exports will be more competitive. The value of food and fibre exports to China is expected to increase significantly as a result. The agreement supports long-held ambitions for Australian producers and will enable access for horticulture exports in a faster and more cost-effective manner.

Horticulture – new market access

The Australian summerfruit industry has recorded its best export season in over a decade as exports soared under the new market access arrangements to China. In November 2017, China approved market access for apricots, peaches and plums, following a successful nectarine season in 2016-17. Summerfruit Australia Limited (SAL) has attributed this success to the combined efforts of industry and government over many years of negotiations.

Since 2016, Agriculture Victoria has worked with the Australian Government and industry to support nectarine growers and packers to be export-ready. The support ensured a high level of compliance with biosecurity and food safety requirements on arrival in China, contributing to market access for additional summerfruit varieties in 2017.

In results released by SAL for the 2017-18 season, summerfruit exports of Australian nectarines, peaches and plums to China increased by 167 per cent in volume to 4,985 tonnes (worth $19.6 million) compared to 1,868 tonnes (worth $7 million) in 2016-17. Victoria contributed to about 75 per cent of Australia’s summerfruit exports in 2017-18 valued at $14.8 million (4,087 tonnes), an increase of 116 per cent from $6.9 million (1,788 tonnes) in 2016-17. This increase was supported by improved access for apricots, peaches and plums as well as a boost of 85 per cent in nectarine exports as more exporters gained confidence in the protocols and participated in the second year of trade.

SAL has indicated that there is a 65 per cent increase in the number of orchards registered for exports in the 2018-19 season, therefore summerfruit exports in 2018-19 are expected to grow an additional five to 15 per cent from the 27 per cent increase in 2017-18. The implementation of ChAFTA from 1 January 2018 has reduced tariffs for Australian summerfruit to China to two per cent, which will further reduce to zero by 1 January 2019, encouraging more exports. However, the future of summerfruit exports to China relies on strict adherence to good biosecurity (phytosanitary) and food safety (sanitary) practices to maintain market access.

Horticulture – leveraging success of summerfruit and improved market access protocolsIn November 2017, China amended the protocols for cherries, citrus and table grapes to include improved and more commercially viable pre-export treatments such as post-harvest fumigation and cold treatment.

Our good record in the trade of summerfruit to China contributed to China’s acceptance of favourable phytosanitary treatments for Australian cherries, citrus and table grapes.

In the 2017-18 season, about 678 tonnes of cherries were exported to China, worth $12 million. The changes to import requirements mean airfreight of cherries from

mainland Australia is possible, with fruit being on Chinese supermarket shelves within 48 to 72 hours of harvest providing access to premium fruit pricing. The new protocols allow cherries to be fumigated with methyl bromide and air-freighted to mainland China. Cherry Growers Australia has projected exports to China and Hong Kong in 2018-19 to grow an additional ten per cent on the previous year.

In 2017, the Australian citrus industry exported 263,626 tonnes of citrus worth $432.1 million, which exceeded the previous record set in 2016. China was the leading destination for Australian citrus with 70,429 tonnes worth $137 million, followed by Japan and Hong Kong. Victoria contributed approximately 38 per cent of total citrus exports from Australia that year.

In 2017-18, about 40,000 tonnes of table grapes, worth $143.8 million, were exported to China. Industry believes the revised protocols will have significant impact on the accessibility of table grapes into the Chinese market, with reduced cold treatment requirements allowing greater flexibility in transport options for exporters. Industry estimates that 45,000 – 50,000 tonnes of table grapes worth $200 million will be exported to China in the 2018-19 season.

Exports of cherries, citrus and table grapes to China were worth over $230 million in 2016-17. The improvements in protocols for these products will allow Australian producers to increase exports of premium fruit to China in the coming season.

With the implementation of ChAFTA, the tariff on all horticulture (except citrus) exports to China will be eliminated by 1 January 2019, with the tariff on citrus exports to be eliminated by 1 January 2023. This is expected to further boost horticulture exports and improve the competitiveness of Victorian produce in the Chinese marketplace. However, this depends on strict adherence to good biosecurity and food safety practices to maintain market access for these commodities.

Dairy

China approved market access protocols for five new Australian infant formula companies in November 2017, all of which were from Victoria, demonstrating China’s ongoing interest in accessing Victoria’s high quality dairy products. Infant formula is a high-value product that has shown strong growth recently, both in Australian supermarket sales (in part due to the demand from the informal export trade), as well as through direct Australian exports. The value of food preparations for infant use directly exported from Victoria to China doubled in 2017-18 to $137 million.

Full cream milk powders to China, which includes ’growing up milk’ preparations, also saw a significant increase in export value, rising 63.9 per cent to $112 million in 2017-18. Overall Victorian dairy exports to China, not including milk preparations for infant use, have increased by 27 per cent to $413 million. The decline in export volumes of cheese, butter, yogurt and whey was largely offset by strong growth in milk powder export volumes which increased by 25,000 tonnes.

Strong export demand has driven Victorian sheepmeat and beef exports in 2017-18. A strengthening of the US economy, which is Victoria’s largest market for red meat products, has contributed to this result along with increased demand from China.

The Australian lamb industry’s major competitor in global markets is New Zealand, which is experiencing a decline in ewe and lamb numbers, largely driven by changes in land use from traditional sheep production to dairying. This

ongoing trend will place Victoria’s lamb industry in a position of strength to meet global demand.

There are potentially significant gains to be made for the red meat industries in relation to market access arrangements, including an Australian / EU Free Trade Agreement on which negotiations will soon commence.

Meat exports from Victoria were valued at $3.3 billion in 2017-18, an increase of $910 million (37 per cent) on 2016-17.

Sheepmeat worth $1.4 billion and beef ($1.3 billion) were the most valuable meat categories, comprising 83 per cent of Victorian meat exports.

The USA was the largest destination for Victorian meat exports valued at $798 million. Meat exports to China were valued at $474 million, an increase of $248 million (110 per cent) on 2016-17. Meat exports to Japan were valued at $280 million.

Continued increase in the value of wool exports across all micron categories was largely due to a favourable exchange rate and strong international demand, particularly from China where international wool processors compete for raw wool.

Seasonal conditions were very good to excellent in the western half of Victoria in Autumn and Spring 2017. The north-east of the state was dry for much of Spring before rain in early summer brought some relief.

Animal fibre exports from Victoria were valued at $2.1 billion in 2017-18, an increase of $342 million (19 per cent) on 2016-17. China was the largest export market for wool at $1.5 billion in 2017-18, making up 71 per cent of all wool exports from Victoria. India was the second largest export market valued at $155 million followed by Italy at $152 million.

All Victorian dairying regions had challenging conditions in 2017-18. Reduced rainfall compared to the previous year resulted in decreased home-grown feed as a percentage of metabolisable energy consumed. Some farmers fed additional imported fodder, at generally higher prices, and used their feed reserves to manage over summer.

While the season was challenging, the average milk price increased by 15 per cent.

The trend in the industry has been for increased processing of higher value dairy products to meet rising domestic and international demand. Butter prices are expected to remain high, and forecast world prices for cheese remain positive. Whole milk powder and infant formula demand continues to grow strongly in the key China market.

Dairy exports from Victoria were valued at $1.9 billion in 2017-18, an increase of $160 million (nine per

cent on 2016-17). Victoria accounted for 79 per cent of national dairy exports. Milk and cream products (worth $933 million) and cheese and whey product (worth $832 million) were the most valuable dairy categories making up 93 per cent of Victorian dairy exports. Japan remained the largest export market for dairy products in 2017-18, valued at $442 million. Dairy exports to China were valued at $415 million, an increase of $89 million (27 per cent) on the previous year.

Victoria is Australia’s major food processor, producing around 30 per cent of Australia’s prepared foods. High food safety and biosecurity standards and diverse regions contribute to our strong international reputation for safe, premium quality foods.

Victoria is also a global leader and innovator in research and development – a key driver for Victoria’s continued dominance in the Australian prepared food sector.

Opportunities exist in new sales channels, including e-commerce platforms in China and other markets, and businesses developing new innovative products and packaging to help differentiate themselves in global markets.

The opportunities lie in air freighted export of fresh, readymade meals to Asian markets where demand for fresh Australian produce is coupled with a fast-paced lifestyle.

The increasing number and wealth of the world’s middle class – and

changing lifestyles – means consumers are increasingly seeking prepared meals. The quality and respect for Victoria’s raw materials means the state is ideally placed for investment in high-value food processing.

In 2017-18, prepared foods were valued at $1.7 billion, an increase of $229 million (15 per cent) on 2016-17. China was the highest value market for prepared foods, valued at $662 million, followed by New Zealand ($254 million) and Hong Kong ($204 million).

^No state-level details are provided for the $1.4 billion of barley exported from Australia in 2017-18 due to confidentiality restrictions, nor for a further $268 million of other cereals including rice and lupins and $184 million of oilseeds. Victoria produces roughly a quarter of Australia’s total barley crop, as well as significant quantities of lupins. *$ change and % change based on the difference between 2016-17 and 2017-18 data. Volumes are shown in gross weights.

After a good start to the season in Autumn 2017, conditions overall were generally not as favourable as the previous excellent 2016-17 season, particularly in the Mallee. However, an above average season still resulted with good yields and resultant exports.

Record sowing area and yields achieved in Victoria in 2016-17, particularly for canola and pulses, meant that greater areas of cereals such as wheat and barley were

sown in 2017-18 due to paddock rotational constraints. This change in sowing area, plus lower yields for all crops, reduced the volume and value of exported grains.

2017-18 saw a massive reduction in volume and value of pulses and wheat exported to India, following the introduction of import tariffs by the Indian Government during the 2017 harvest. Other markets such as China and Indonesia increased imports of Victorian grain.

In 2017-18 Victorian grains exports were valued at $1.5 billion, a decrease of $277 million (down 15 per cent) on 2016-17. China was the largest market for grain exports valued at $181 million. Other significant markets were Indonesia valued at $148 million followed by Vietnam at $119 million.

HorticultureThe 2017-18 season started with isolated late frosts in North-Western Victoria and hail in parts of Southern Victoria. However, mild conditions and little rain through late summer, resulted in a good season for horticulture, especially in Sunraysia.

Citrus exports increased by 23 per cent in 2017-18 due to strong demand for high quality produce. China was the largest export market for citrus for the second successive year, with exports soaring 59 per cent to a record $62 million.

Table grape exports into Japan and South Korea increased and revised

market access protocols allowed for exports directly into China.

Despite challenging seasonal conditions, almond export tonnages were maintained, however prices were slightly lower than the previous season. Stonefruit exports increased by 48 per cent mainly due to market access to China.

Horticulture exports from Victoria were valued at $1.1 billion in 2017-18, an increase of $47 million (four per cent) on 2016-17. Fruit (fresh or dried) was the highest value category, making up 54 per cent of Victorian horticulture exports. Nuts (fresh or

dried) was the second most valuable horticulture category, making up 28 per cent of horticulture exports. China was the highest value export market for horticulture exports, valued at $243 million in 2017-18. Table grapes comprised the majority of horticulture exports to China (59 per cent). India was the second largest horticulture export market valued at $142 million. Almonds were the major horticulture export to India (96 per cent). Japan was the third largest horticulture export market valued at $88 million. The majority of horticulture exports to Japan were table grapes (46 per cent).

1. The Australian Bureau of Statistics did not publish state-level detail for woodchip exports from 2013–14 to 2017-18 due to confidentiality restrictions. Total Australian hardwood woodchip data exports in 2017-18 were valued at $1.308 billion. Further, there was no state detail published for $6 million of roundwood. The exclusion of woodchip leads to significantly lower Victorian export values and volumes. The last complete state-level woodchip data from 2012–13, reported a Victorian export value of $187 million. 2. Note that Japan is traditionally the largest export market for Victorian forest products and is under-represented in the data provided, due to the ABS confidentiality restrictions applied to state-level woodchip trade. Japan received over $145 million of reported Victorian forest product exports woodchips in 2012–13, with over 98 per cent of this woodchip exports. Accordingly if woodchip data was available, Japan is likely to be either the largest or second-largest export market by value, potentially changing the rankings of other export destinations.

The forest and wood products industry in Victoria is widespread and diverse. Production occurs from Central, West and East Gippsland, the Central Highlands to the North-East, and Western Victoria.

Across Victoria, the industry directly employs more than 15,000 people including secondary processing. In addition, the forest industry indirectly supports over 13,000 jobs. Many additional indirect jobs

are generated from secondary processing. There has been an overall decline in forestry employment over time, including a 25 per cent decline between 2011 and 2016 (Census data).

Victoria’s forest products are predominantly exported to the Asia-Pacific Region. China is the largest destination (47 per cent).

In 2017-18, reportable Victorian forest products exports were valued at $726 million, a decrease of $67 million

(down 8 per cent) on 2016-17. China was the highest value export market for Victorian forest products valued at $341 million. The majority of forest products to China were roundwood (77 per cent) followed by waste paper which decreased by 32 per cent in 2017-18 on 2016-17. New Zealand was the second largest export market for forest products exports valued at $141 million. The majority of forest products export to New Zealand were paper and paperboard (93 per cent).

The wine industry has benefited from growing global demand for Australian wine and improved pricing over the past five years. The implementation of free trade agreements with South Korea, Japan and China, has benefited the industry operators with more expected to shift production towards premium wines. Asian export markets will play an increasingly important role in the industry’s future.

Red wine represents the largest share of industry revenue. Producers of red wine have benefited from growth in export demand and the trend towards premiumisation, with red wine making up the largest portion of industry exports (IBISWorld, 2018).

The top three red wine categories were Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

The top three white wine categories were Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc.

Wine exports from Victoria were valued at $363 million in 2017-18, an increase of $73 million (up 25 per cent) on 2016-17. Red wine remained the strongest performer, accounting for 79 per cent of Victoria’s wine exports with a value of $287 million. White wine exports were valued at $54 million and fortified wine exports were valued at $10 million. China and the United Kingdom were Victoria’s largest markets for wine exports valued at $167 million and $50 million respectively.

Victoria’s seafood is sourced from a combination of wild capture and aquaculture. Victorian fisheries exports are dominated by high value products such as rock lobster, abalone, giant crab and scallop wild-catch, which are quota managed. Farmed abalone, mussel and barramundi exports are expected to continue to grow with the expansion of aquaculture farms.

The wild abalone and rock lobster fishery is one of Victoria’s most valuable professional fisheries, with almost all the catch exported to international markets, predominately in Asia.

Seafood exports from Victoria were valued at $240 million in 2017-18, (up 18 per cent) on 2016-17. Crustaceans were the highest value export from Victoria valued

at $160 million followed by molluscs at $68 million. China and Hong Kong were Victoria’s major seafood markets in 2017-18 at $150 million and $38 million respectively.

Case study

Re-opening cherries access to Vietnam

In August 2017, Victorian cherries returned to Vietnam after the re-opening of trade under new market access conditions.

In 2014, Vietnam was a promising emerging market for Victorian cherries with 115 tonnes, valued at $1.6 million exported from Victoria. In January 2015 market access was suspended for Australian cherry exports to Vietnam due to concerns over fruit fly. The loss of this key market had a significant impact on Victoria’s horticultural sector.

In August 2017, Australian cherries regained access to Vietnam under a new protocol that enabled Victoria to use irradiation or cold disinfestation to treat for fruit fly prior to export. This was a huge step forward in regaining access to this important market, particularly as irradiation was included in the protocol. This treatment is highly effective against fruit fly and offers many more benefits to soft fruits such as cherries because it doesn’t have the same negative impacts on fruit quality and shelf life as other treatments.

The new market access conditions will allow for the irradiation and air-freight of fruit, ensuring that produce entering the Vietnamese market meets the highest quality and freshness standards within efficient timeframes to access premium fruit pricing. This will in turn provide the best returns for Victorian producers and rural communities.

The new conditions were announced in time for the 2017-18 cherry season and Australia exported 392 tonnes of cherries, worth about $7 million to Vietnam. This market access achievement has the potential to boost Victorian horticulture exports into the future. The Cherry Growers Association has predicted an increase of 50 per cent in exports to Vietnam in 2018-19.

A ‘Taste Australia’ promotional campaign was undertaken jointly by the Victorian Government, Austrade, Horticulture Innovation Australia Limited and the New South Wales Government to promote Australian cherries in Vietnam. The campaign included a series of events and promotional activities held across major retail chains from December 2017 to February 2018 to coincide with the first season of new access.

The positive reception of Australian cherries in Vietnam and seasonal success highlights the importance of these markets to Victorian producers and the need to protect market access through awareness and adherence to international phytosanitary protocols.

North Asia is both the largest and fastest growing of Victoria’s food and fibre export regions. China is Victoria’s strongest market for export growth and home to the world’s largest population. A booming middle-class and an increasing demand for premium goods, services, ideas and knowledge have opened key opportunities for Victorian businesses to establish valuable trade partnerships with China.

Since the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement (ChAFTA) began in 2015, significant export barriers have been removed, and Victoria’s agribusinesses are well placed to

boost sales to China by exporting their premium food products and beverages.

Victoria shares a long and mutually beneficial economic partnership with Japan, the world’s third largest economy. Since the Japan-Australia Economic Partnership Agreement (JAEPA) began in 2015, Victorian businesses have been given preferential access to export their premium goods and services to Japan. Victorian agribusinesses are well placed to supply premium meat and dairy products, citrus, table grapes and nuts, food ingredients and unique premium food.

South Korea is the fourth largest economy in Asia with a population of over 50 million. Increasing demand for high-quality goods and services has provided key export opportunities across a range of Victoria’s market sectors. Since the Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement (KAFTA) began in 2014, significant trade and export barriers have been removed improving access to the Korean marketplace. There are substantial export opportunities for Victorian agribusinesses to meet increasing demand for high-quality beef, dairy, horticulture and healthy functional foods.

The growing number of urban dwellers in South East Asia is a key feature driving a range of export opportunities for Victoria’s agribusinesses. Globally recognised as suppliers of high quality, clean, and safe food products, Victoria’s food and fibre sector is strongly placed to meet South East Asia’s

growing demand for premium quality meat and dairy products, fruit and nuts, and wheat. Key markets include Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.

Victorian food and fibre exports to the South East Asia region were valued at $2.3 billion in 2017-18, an

increase of three per cent on 2016-17. Wheat exports to the region grew in value with exports to Indonesia and Malaysia the most significant increasing by $37 million and $19 million respectively. Cheese exports to the region grew by 18 per cent during this period.


Victoria’s trade relationship with North America is dominated by the United States of America (USA), which will continue to provide significant opportunities for Victorian exporters. Underpinning Victoria’s and the USA’s dynamic trade and investment relationship is the Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement (AUSFTA) which came into effect in 2005. Canada is also an important market with two-way direct investment between Canada and Australia at $39.3 billion in 2017.

Victoria’s highest value food and fibre exports to the USA are beef and sheepmeat respectively. The size of the USA market presents significant opportunities for agricultural producers as well as exporters of processed and health foods. Victoria’s innovations in agricultural technology are also highly relevant to the USA market.

Victorian food and fibre exports to North America were valued at $1 billion in 2017-18 (up 17 per cent). Meat exports made up the majority of exports to the region (79 per cent), consisting mainly of red meat to the USA, Victoria’s largest market for red meat products.

Covering a vast and diverse region, the Middle East and North Africa are important economic partners for Victoria. With strong economic and population growth, the region’s engagement with global markets has increased, providing key export destinations across a range of Victorian industry sectors. Iran offers substantial export opportunities as an emerging market.

Key factors such as land-use restrictions, the climate and regional security issues make food security a top priority for governments across

the region, particularly in the Gulf which imports 90 per cent of its food requirements. With strong population growth projected to exceed 500 million by 2020, the demand for high-quality food and beverage products is predicted to soar providing key opportunities for Victoria’s agribusinesses – particularly in the dairy, meat, prepared and health food industries.

Victorian food and fibre exports to MENA were valued at $1.1 billion in 2017-18, an increase of $205 million (up 22 per cent) on 2016-17.

MENA continues to grow as an important destination for Victorian red meat with export volumes up 26 per cent and value up 36 per cent on 2016-17. Lamb exports to Iran grew by $69 million, and an 18 per cent increase in lamb exports to Qatar reflects continuing strong demand in the region.

The UAE and Saudi Arabia remained Victoria’s largest markets in the region accounting for 29 per cent and 12 per cent of the total value of exports respectively. Strong export growth was also seen in the Gulf States.

South Asia is a region with one of the fastest economic growth rates in the world estimated at 6.5 per cent in 2017-18. India is dominant in the region, accounting for 75 per cent of the population and representing 82 per cent of the South Asia economy. India was Australia’s fifth largest export market in 2017-18. India’s increasing urbanisation and higher income levels are reshaping local consumer preferences and consumption patterns.

Food and fibre exports to India make up 59 per cent of exports to

the region. Victoria’s exceptional reputation for wool drives the majority of these exports, supporting India’s textiles and high-end fashion industry. As demand for premium products increases in India, there are also growing opportunities for branded products including Victorian lamb, wine, beer and cheese. Additionally, Victoria supplies almonds, pulses and other horticulture products to India. E-commerce is rapidly emerging as an accessible way to do everyday shopping in India, and to access

local and international products. There are opportunities for Victoria to partner with India in agriculture technology and science, particularly in dairy production, irrigation and smart water technologies.

Victorian food and fibre exports to South Asia decreased by 31 per cent to $639 million in 2017-18 compared to 2016-17. Pulse and wheat exports to India showed a significant decrease reflecting high tariffs imposed on lentils and chickpeas in December 2017, and a 20 per cent tariff imposed on wheat.

Definitions and Data



Definitions This report refers to ‘food exports’ as those products considered suitable for consumption by humans. This classification is made by the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources (DEDJTR) based on the Australian Harmonized Export Commodity Classification (AHECC) code descriptions.

DEDJTR refers to ‘fibre exports’ as those of wool and other animal fibre products, including skins and hides, forestry products and textiles, clothing and footwear (TCF).

The DEDJTR classification excludes items such as: live animals for breeding purposes; grains and horticultural products for cultivation; live ornamental plants; and bovine semen.

The DEDJTR classification includes items such as: live animals for purposes other than breeding; fresh, chilled, frozen and preserved meats and seafood; dairy and horticultural items for human consumption; unprocessed grains and pulses; edible animal by-products; wine and related products; wool and other fibres in various forms; skins and hides from agricultural livestock; and prepared foods derived from agricultural commodities.

State of Origin defines the Australian state in which the final stage of production or manufacture occurs (ABS 5489.0 - International Merchandise Trade, Australia, Concepts, Sources and Methods).

State of Loading is the Australian state in which the goods are loaded onto an international carrier for export. Subject to any confidentiality restrictions, this can be further disaggregated to provide information about particular air or sea ports in the relevant state (i.e. Port of Loading).

Classification of forest products is based on those used by ABARES in the Australian Forest and Wood Products Statistics publication.

Classification of wool products is based on the AWEX Sheep Breed Compendium, 2010.

The regional classification of North Asia comprises China, Hong Kong, Japan, Macau, Mongolia, South Korea and Taiwan.

The regional classification of South East Asia comprises Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

The regional classification of MENA comprises Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, UAE and Yemen.

The regional classification of North America comprises the USA, Canada and Mexico.

The regional classification of South Asia comprises Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Data The information in this document is based on statistics compiled by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) from information submitted by exporters and their agents to the Department of Home Affairs (Home Affairs). The data has been sourced from IHS Markit, Global Trade Information Services (GTIS), which compiled the information for DEDJTR.

Valuation of exports is based on the free on-board transaction value of the goods, expressed in Australian dollars. Values within this publication have been aggregated on a financial year basis. State aggregations are by State of Origin rather than by State of Loading.

Gross weight refers to the shipping weight of goods (measured in tonnes) in the packaged state, excluding the weight of containers. For exports, details of gross weight are available for each commodity.

Restrictions are placed on the release of statistics for some products for reasons of confidentiality. These restrictions may impact on the total aggregated value of exports from Victoria. Alternatively, they may only affect country and commodity details for that export category. Of relevance to Victoria’s food and fibre exports are confidentiality restrictions on specific grain, forestry, Textile, clothing and footwear (TCF) and animal feed product exports including some barley, oats, lupins, canola, beer, pasta and woodchips, products for which no state of origin or export destination details are available.

DEDJTR uses the AHECC codes for export and import analysis (www.abs.gov.au, Classification 1233.0). These codes concur with international commodity codes, allowing direct import and competitor analysis. Commodity classification also provides greater detail and allows analysis of products from different sectors of the supply chain. These codes enable DEDJTR to focus on specific fresh and processed export products within industry sectors.
