**Who we are**

The branch works closely with DFAT in the negotiation and implementation of Free Trade Agreements and has carriage of Australia’s bilateral agriculture relationship with countries in Europe and the Americas and supports the department’s counsellors in Brussels, London, Rome, Washington, Mexico City and Santiago. The branch works with government, industry, and other stakeholders to advance Australia’s agricultural and environment policy interests globally.

**The Agricultural Trade and Market Access Branch** advances the interests of Australia’s rural industries by leading the department’s bilateral interactions with regional trading partners and co-ordinating associated portfolio input. This supports efforts to maintain and improve market access, resolve trade impediments, and manage partner-country engagement across the portfolio. The branch supports bilateral agricultural trade and engagement with North Asian, Southeast Asian, Middle East and African markets and has counsellors in Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul, Jakarta, New Delhi, Dubai, Riyadh, Bangkok, and Hanoi.
