Australian brussels sprout export prices have doubled in last 10 years
Increased demand from Asia and a lower Australian dollar resulted in export prices doubling in real terms in the 10 years to 2015–16.
According to the ABARES report, improved export opportunities facilitated by tariff reductions are also expected to have contributed to the recent export growth.
"The Republic of Korea now accounts for a large share of Australia’s brussels sprout exports and is expected to remain a key market over the medium term, with the tariff scheduled to be eliminated by 2019."
"Top triggers for purchase were health and taste. Key barriers to purchase included wanting a variety in their diet and price."
