Western Australia: A global source of premium agrifood products

Covering the entire western third of the Australian continent, Western Australia boasts a diverse range of bio-diverse production environments that support the supply of premium-quality food and agricultural products enjoyed around the world.

This global reputation is underpinned by:

  • Isolated growing regions protected by robust international and interstate biosecurity controls, keeping the state free from many pests and diseases.
  • Passionate primary producers who combine generations of farming knowledge with cutting-edge agricultural and food production technologies.
  • Strict food safety and traceability standards, ensuring consistent quality and consumer confidence.
  • Strategic location with direct access to the Indian Ocean and proximity to Asia, enabling short shipping times to some of the world’s largest markets and helping produce arrive fresh.
  • Time zone advantages, with business hour overlapping those of all of Asia and, uniquely among Australian states, year-round overlap with Western Europe.
