This was mainly caused by the toll taken by high Chinese tariffs , the document said. China remains Australia s top wine export market, but the value of mainland Chinese imports has dropped 24 per cent in the 12-month period to March, to $869 million. In contrast, exports to the UK have soared and are worth $461 million in the same period - but Britain is half the size of the Chinese market. Wine Australia CEO Andreas Clark said the UK export market had grown by 33 per cent and exports to Europe were the highest in 10 years. She said the decline in exports was due mainly to a steep decline in Chinese imports as well as less volume available for export. ....
Wine exports to China crash on tariff hit Share Australian wine exports to China crashed to just $12 million in the four months ended March 31 from $325 million a year earlier, as punishing tariffs meant it was almost pointless for Australian producers to try to ship wine to that country. New figures from industry body Wine Australia detailed the full extent of the hefty tariffs of up to 212 per cent which have been placed on bottled products from Australia by the Chinese government in a spat that has also enveloped other industries including barley, lobsters and coal as geopolitical tensions worsen. Penfolds wines on the shelves in China are becoming much rarer after hefty tariffs. ....
Australian wine exports resilient despite headwinds April 29th, 2021 Australian wine exports declined by four percent in value to $2.77 billion in the 12 months to March 2021, compared with the previous corresponding period, driven principally by the toll taken by high Chinese tariffs, according to Wine Australia’s latest Export Report. Export volume declined by 1% to 724 million litres (80 million 9 litre case equivalents) while the average price per litre for wine exports declined by 3% to $3.82 free on board (FOB). Wine Australia CEO Andreas Clark said the decline in exports was due principally to a steep decline in exports to mainland China as well as the cumulative effects of three consecutive lower vintage in Australia leading to less volume available to export. ....
“Some claim that the problems in bilateral trade ties resulted from China’s economic coercion against Australia. What a ridiculous and irrelevant argument,” he said at the Australia China Business Council briefing. “As the old saying goes, whoever tied the knot is responsible for untying it.” China’s retaliatory strikes across A$20 billion ($21.4b) in exports have hit local wine producers among the hardest of any industry. Coal, barley and wood have largely been able to diversify into other markets, but winemakers have seen the value of their exports to China fall from A$325 million between December 2019 and March last year to A$12 million during the same period this year. ....
Conference to help wine sector prepare, respond and recover from fire April 9th, 2021 The grape and wine community will gather at locations around Australia for the National Wine Sector Bushfire Conference on 25 May 2021 to explore the learnings from the 2020 vintage and how to prepare, respond and recover from future fire events. The free, one day conference will focus on delivering information to ensure that growers and winemakers are better prepared, better informed and better equipped to handle the decisions that need to be made before, during and after the almost inevitable circumstances of fire in Australian summers. The nation-wide event comes just over a year following fires around Australia that raised new research projects to improve the sector’s response to fire and smoke. ....
