‘Level playing field’ as Australia-Korea FTA comes into force
15/12/2014
A spokesman for the KAFTA Australian red meat industry taskforce, Stephen Kelly, said: “Not only is it seen as a mechanism for further improving the trading environment, but it is also a means to address the competitive disadvantage Australian beef faces versus beef imported by Korea from the US, Australia’s major competitor in the Korean market.
“KAFTA will help Australian exports compete on a more level playing field as well as help secure the ongoing supply of Australian beef for Korean consumers in what is becoming a highly competitive global protein market,” Mr Kelly said.
