Around two-thirds of Australia’s agricultural products are exported, and the Agricultural Trade and Regulation Group is responsible for ensuring Australia’s agri-food and fibre supply chains can safely and securely supply Australia and the world by maintaining and improving market access for Australian exporters. It does this by using our extensive networks, regulatory and technical expertise, and good relationships. The Group includes four Divisions and 16 international posts.
