Foreign trade of Australia - statistics & facts
Foreign trade in Australia revolves around the export of goods obtained from the vast natural resources of the country and the import of manufactured goods. Historically, Australia was famous for its wool and wheat exports, but recent decades have seen the country become a major exporter of iron ore and coal, taking advantage of its rich mineral and energy resources. The nation’s import market has also seen significant change, with a shift from clothing and textiles imports in the early 20th Century, to vehicles, machinery, and petroleum products today.
