Australian Wine Export Markets

Senator Glenn Sterle inquired about other markets opening up for Australian wine growers and winemakers, with Matt Lowe, Deputy Secretary of the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, discussing the potential of the Indian market. The discussion also covered the work being done to diversify markets further, including funding to support further diversification into the US market, as well as efforts to pursue other markets such as China, Japan, and Southeast Asian markets. The key findings included the identification of Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand as important markets for Australian wine, with efforts being made to increase trade with these nations, particularly since the decline of the Chinese market.
