Australian agricultural exports were worth A$50.1 billion in 2019/20, the second-highest year on record, though down A$601.4 million year over year. China accounted for 30.3% of export value, and China overtook Japan as the top market for Australian beef.
Tariffs on Australian barley are noted as a risk.
Strong export values and rising Chinese beef demand support Australian livestock and grain prices, while Chinese tariffs on barley are a downside risk for that trade.
