Australia is free from some of the world’s major agricultural and aquatic pests and diseases, and is a world leader in animal welfare. This ‘clean and green’ status provides us with a major trading advantage and access to overseas markets - essential to the economy because Australia exports around 75 per cent of its agricultural products.
