Supporting Australia’s Agricultural Export Boom: Delivering Excellence in Global Logistics

Australia’s agricultural industry is on a trajectory to achieve remarkable growth, with export values projected to reach $88.4 billion in the 2024–25 financial year.*

This surge is driven by robust demand for Australian produce, particularly red meat, from key markets such as the United States, China, Japan, and the Middle East. The recent lifting of trade bans by China on Australian beef further amplifies this positive outlook, opening avenues for increased exports.

As the agricultural export landscape expands, the importance of efficient and reliable logistics cannot be overstated. Perishable goods, including fresh produce and meat, require meticulous handling to ensure they reach international markets in optimal condition. This is where IFC Global Logistics and Warehousing steps in as a pivotal partner for Australian exporters.
