We were all told access to India was such a great win for Australian avocados and it indeed it was, but as is its right, India is looking beyond just Australia, in this case importing avocados from Brazil. This is even more reason for expanding export markets and getting market access to Japan for QLD grown avocados and access for Australian grown avocados to China. When will there be a whole of government approach? I’ll bet you the Brazilians do so, and at the highest political levels in order to get access, just as the Australian governmrnt does so effectively for wine and lobster. Why won’t they do it for fresh produce?? Maybe avocado growers should turn their avos into wine, that might at least get the government’s attention. 😎
