Market Access Achievements (2018)

​​​Improving market access for Australia’s agricultural, fisheries and forestry exports is vital for supporting a vibrant competitive agricultural industry. To do this, the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources works to remove technical requirements imposed by other countries such as labelling, pest and disease process requirements and residue limits that are inconsistent with Australia’s production systems and, in many cases, with international standards and rights and obligations under international trade rules.
