    Market opportunities for Queensland agribusiness from FTA with South Korea FINAL REPORT 1 Executive summary Background Australia recently signed Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with China (June 2015), Japan (July 2014) and South Korea (April 2014). These agreements substantially reduce or remove tariffs on a range of Australian food and agribusiness export products including beef, grains, horticulture, seafood and processed foods, which together represent a large share of Queensland’s total agricultural production and exports. Deloitte Access Economics has been engaged by Trade & Investment Queensland (TIQ) and the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) to identify opportunities and barriers within Queensland agribusiness sectors arising from the FTAs. The project has been undertaken in two stages. Stage 1 highlighted the commodities which showed the most promise for increased trade and investment between China, Japan and South Korea. These commodities were identified through analysis of tariff reductions, Queensland production, exports, consumption trends and major competitors as well as consultation with Queensland agribusiness stakeholders. Stage 2 (this report) profiles these identified commodities in more detail to identify any non-tariff barriers, supply chain constraints, market operation and their Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT). This profiling was informed through further consultation with Queensland Government, industry associations, traders and selected in-market contacts in China, Japan
