| Kurzfassung auf Englisch: |
| It is no coincidence that the development of the Australian seafood industry has coincided with a period of strong world economic growth and strong economic performance of its key export markets. With the Australian seafood industry’s reliance upon exporting product and the importance of four key Asian markets, Japan, Hong Kong, Chinese Taipei and Singapore (as well as the United States), the industry’s performance is largely dictated by the economic fortunes of those key economies. This reliance upon relatively few markets makes the Australian industry extremely susceptible to economic fluctuation. The extent of exposure may well be exacerbated by the high-end, high-value nature of our major fisheries exports.
With world growth rates slowing and a perceived brittleness in key Asian economies, particularly Japan, the need to diversify markets for Australian fisheries exports is gaining prominence. The expanding US market offers great opportunity for exporters to diversify their risk more evenly across world markets.
In 2001, the value of edible seafood imports to the US was more than US$9.8 billion1. Non-edible imports also approached record highs totalling US$8.7 billion, having more than doubled in value during the past decade (see Figure 1)2.The US ranked second worldwide behind Japan (US$15.5 billion3), in terms of value of edible seafood imports. In the past five years the value of the US edible seafood market has increased at an annual rate of 7.6 per cent, which contrasts with a reduction in the value of imports by Japan of around 9 per cent over the same period4. If this trend continues, the US will become the world’s primary destination for edible seafood exports within the next decade. |
