Australia recorded a strong performance in its agricultural trade for April 2025, exporting 2.6 million tonnes of wheat, including durum—marking a significant 24% increase compared to March, according to the latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
This growth in exports highlights Australia’s expanding role in the global grain supply chain, reaching both traditional and new markets across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Bulk wheat exports saw notable demand from Indonesia (360,575 tonnes), South Korea (222,120 tonnes), the Philippines (190,342 tonnes), and China (189,874 tonnes), reaffirming the country’s strong trade ties in the Asia-Pacific region.
Containerised exports were led by Malaysia (37,664 tonnes) and Indonesia (37,409 tonnes), followed closely by Thailand (25,650 tonnes), reflecting ongoing demand for high-quality Australian wheat products in Southeast Asia.
April also marked a milestone for durum wheat, with Australia exporting 105,820 tonnes to Italy—its highest monthly volume in years. This signals a renewed appetite for Australian durum, especially among Mediterranean buyers.
In addition to established partners, new markets emerged in April, including Egypt, Kenya, Mozambique, Saudi Arabia, and Zimbabwe, demonstrating Australia’s growing global trade outreach. The number of bulk destinations increased from 18 in March to 27 in April—an uncommon but positive sign of diversification.
This performance is a testament to the strength of Australia’s agricultural exports, supported by efficient logistics, consistent grain quality, and proactive market engagement.
