Australia and China: Opportunities in agribusiness, food and beverages 

As the gap between world food production and consumption shrinks and as food price inflation increases, China is moving to extend and deepen its food supply channels. It potentially means big opportunities and big changes for Australian food producers, processors and marketers.

This paper complements the Australia & China: Future Partnerships 2011 report, developed in association with the University of Sydney China Studies Centre.

 

Key insights

  • In 2010-11, the value of Australian agricultural exports to China topped $4.5 billion, potentially creating big opportunities and changing the Australian and Chinese food producers, processors and marketers.
  • There are evolving commercial and investment opportunities arising from China's growing appetite for higher quality foodstuffs and desire to achieve supply security.
  • As China’s population growth slows, rising incomes and an expanding middle class are creating a multitude of food related business opportunities.
