Abstract

This study was undertaken as part of a continuing programme to further develop trade in agricultural commodities between Asean nations (excluding Thailand) and Western Australia. This initiative, which has now been in operation for three years, is the first exercise of its type undertaken by a State Department in Australia. I am therefore grateful to the Department of Agriculture for the opportunity to participate in this activity and also particularly to staff within the Marketing and Economics Section for their encouragement. Co-operation given by private industry - producers, merchants, carriers and exporters has been essential in providing me with a greater understanding of their particular industry and for that I am greatly indebted - quite apart from valuable contacts they provided during my visit.
