Sausages emerged in Phase I as one of twenty “high growth, high potential” opportunities for Western Australia; sausages are processed meat products that are typically served cooked

6 Western Australia is well-positioned to grow sausage exports to Asia

- Asian sausage imports are increasing, with import value growth being driven by rising tonnage and increasing average FOB (free-on-board) prices - Asian & Middle Eastern sausage imports come from both Western countries (USA & Europe) and Asia (primarily China & Thailand) - China & the USA stand out for driving sausage trade value growth in Asia & the Middle East - China leads in absolute volume growth over the last five years, while Thailand, Jordan and other Middle Eastern suppliers stand out for rate of growth; USA retrenching - Average FOB price to target Asian markets vary significantly by supplier with Italy leading, followed by Australia, Thailand and China; Brazil is the low cost price fighter - While sausages go to a number of the target markets, Japan and Hong Kong stand out - Growth in sausage imports has been driven by East Asia - China, South Korea and Saudi Arabia standing out for market growth - Average sausage import prices vary by region, with East Asia generally paying more; Japan and Hong Kong both stand out as a large markets that pay well - Imported sausage consumption and aggregate imports appear partially driven by income per capita; Middle East stands out as higher in general - Market share varies by country; the USA is strong in East Asia; European countries stronger across the Middle East; China really only present at any level in Hong Kong and Japan - Western Australia has opportunities for sausage export growth in select Asian markets - Data supports new high value, premium sausage opportunities being initially launched in (1) Hong Kong, (2) Japan and (3) Singapore - As a “Straw Man” for discussion, we identify an export market roll-out plan 7 Asian sausage imports are increasing, with import value growth being driven by rising tonnage and increasing average FOB (free-on-board) prices

In this environment, what is the opportunity for Western Australia?

Who are the potential in-market partners?

Who are the key firms in Western Australia capable of delivering?

22 Western Australia is well-positioned to grow sausage exports to Asia

IS THE MARKET DEVELOPED & COMPETITIVE? - The flow of sausages from the farm through to the consumer is relatively straight forward and simple - Sausage prices are competitive in Asia - Asian markets generally have a much less developed sausage range and offer than Western countries - “Leading indicator” Western markets strongly suggest depth of range in Asian sausage markets will increase going forward - Pork is the favoured protein in (almost) all Western countries but does not enjoy the same dominance in Asian markets

WHAT IS WA CAPABLE OF DELIVERING? - A wide range of premium, value-adding product attributes emerged from our cross-country retailer survey - Western Australian sausage producers need to continue to move forward and improve through new products - Multiple potential positions exist to develop a premium sausage offer for Asia - Products from other processors in other markets demonstrate what is possible in terms of developing a premium Western Australian sausage offer - There are a wide range of potential product positions or claims available for a premium sausage product from Western Australia targeting Asia - As a “Straw Man” for discussion, we identify an opportunity for a high value, premium sausage product with select characteristics for export market launch
