There’s some good news in today’s Situation and Outlook report, from Dairy Australia. Australia’s national milk production is gradually starting to grow – great signs for the industry off the back of years of decline. Fortunately, consumers demand for dairy continues, with the volume of dairy sold in Australia growing. Sales of butter are up one per cent, block cheese is up 2.5 per cent and yoghurt sales have risen by 5.7 per cent – with the standout performer plain Greek yoghurt with sales up a whopping 17 per cent. It means more Australians are enjoying the health benefits of dairy. However, the cost-sensitive nature of consumers also continues to lead many Australian households towards private label products – with milk most impacted. The watch out, is many private label products are imported. We need Australian made, Australian branded dairy products so consumers know they’re buying great quality and taste. More than this it means you’re helping support a sustainable and vibrant dairy industry and helping keep manufacturing local. So, raise a glass of milk to your neighbour!

The future of India's agro-product export market is highly promising due to increasing global demand for food security, organic products, and value-added agricultural goods. Several trends and factors are shaping the export potential of India's agricultural sector: 1. Growing Global Demand for Organic and Healthy Foods With rising health consciousness worldwide, there is increasing demand for organic and natural products like spices, grains, fruits, and vegetables. India, being one of the largest producers of organic food, is well-positioned to benefit from this trend. Indian organic products like organic basmati rice, organic spices, and pulses are already seeing high demand in markets like the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East. 2. Processed and Value-Added Products India's export market is shifting from raw agricultural products to value-added and processed foods like frozen fruits and vegetables, ready-to-eat meals, and packaged snacks. The food processing industry is growing rapidly, with government incentives to boost exports of processed goods, especially in dairy, seafood, and horticulture sectors. 3. Expansion into New Markets Traditionally, Indian agro exports have been focused on the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East. However, there is increasing demand from African, Southeast Asian, and CIS countries for Indian agricultural products. The government is negotiating more Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and improving trade relations with countries in Africa, Latin America, and East Asia, which will open up new markets for Indian agro products. 4. Focus on High-Value Crops High-value crops like spices, tea, coffee, and cashews continue to see strong global demand. India is the world’s largest producer and exporter of spices, such as black pepper, turmeric, cumin, and cardamom, which enjoy a large market share globally. In addition to spices, horticultural products like grapes, mangoes, and pomegranates are becoming more popular in overseas markets due to their quality and taste. #import #export #exportmarket #globalmarket #exportbuyer #business #indianmarket #shipping
