FJ
Broccoli is about to become a major export product for Australians.
Japan mattered Australian broccoli there are more than 10 years, then stopped to American broccoli, resumes its demand for Australian broccoli. Indeed, with the drought in California and limiting production ( San Joaquin, Central Coast ) and therefore the export of broccoli , Japan to compensate for missing volumes turned to Australia.
In addition, the weakness of the Australian dollar and the removal of Japanese customs taxes (3%) was flying the broccoli request from Australia . An increase of 40% was recorded over recent months.
