The project aims to support Western Australian firms Imports are across nine broad agrifood platforms: beverages, processed to grow exports into premium target markets of Asia and the Middle East. foods, dairy and eggs, produce, seafood, meat, oilseeds, oils and fats, animal foods, and grains. Western Australia is poised for agrifood export growth at the beginning of the Asian Century. Agrifood has the opportunity to reposition itself as a key To succeed within these platforms and to avoid being trapped into supplying export sector for the state. A wide ranging peer group of countries suggest low margin raw materials, firms need to focus on either distinctive, counter that more robust food and beverage export growth is possible. seasonal or status products with provenance. Following a flat period through the mid-2000’s, Western Australia’s food & Western Australian producers need to be targeting “premium” positions. beverage exports have grown at a compound rate (CAGR) of 6% per annum This report identifies four broad attributes of premium food & beverage for the last decade, reaching $6.1b in 2015. The majority of these exports go products: health, indulgence, convenience and provenance. “Premium” in to Asia ($4.3b) and the Middle East ($1b).

It is important to understand that Asia is a major food layers. Western Australia has a modern food industry that produces safe producing region that vastly dwarfs Western Australian production and is food from a clean and trusted environment, located in the same time zone as fully capable of producing most of its own food; in fact, for many products, Asia’s major markets. Combining these factors with skilled people and a Asia is the largest global producing region. compelling story positions Western Australia favourably against peer competitors. However, Asia has large and growing agrifood imports (13% per annum between 2002-2012 ) and significant further food import growth is available. 4 This project analysed global trade flows of over six hundred and seventy nine Western Australia can leverage its existing dairy offer in Asia and drive for food and beverage products from every country to twenty four high potential further growth. Dairy has rapidly growing per capita consumption across Asian and Middle Eastern target markets. This data has been
