SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S WINE INDUSTRY WILL BE HIT ...

China’s anti-dumping investigation into Australian wine exports will provide a substantial impact on South Australia’s export performance and more importantly our world class wine industry. South Australian wine exports to China make up around 30% of SA’s exports to China, and just under 10% of SA’s global exports. This threat of an anti-dumping finding against the Australian wine industry has vastly more impact on the South Australian economy than the previously announced restrictions on barley and beef.

HOW DOES THE JAPANESE OPPORTUNITY COMPARE TO CHINA?

HOW DOES THE JAPANESE OPPORTUNITY COMPARE TO CHINA?

In the Asian Century, China is clearly one of the most important economies to consider, and most business leaders around the world are seeking to take advantage of this market in one way or another.  However, there is a risk that while many experienced exporters have taken a strategic approach to the Asian region, many newly internationalising companies are missing out on one of the best opportunities available; Japan. The questions that business leaders should be asking are; Where are the opportunities in Japan? and how does the Japanese market compare to the Chinese market?

HAVE WE FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE OTHER GREAT ASIAN MARKET?

HAVE WE FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE OTHER GREAT ASIAN MARKET?

When was the last time you heard a business leader suggest that they were going to target Asia, and Japan would be the key market of entry? It would probably be a while. Australian companies still do business with Japan, but new business is not growing as fast as it probably should be, and perhaps that is down to the besotted nature that Australia and the various federal, state and local governments have had with China. Its hard for Japan not to be swamped and overlooked in favour of its bigger East Asian neighbour. But is this a fair comparison?
