Japan is an important market for Australian farm products, but high import barriers prevent the full potential of this market from being realised. Japan has consistently presented stiff opposition to agricultural trade liberalisation - in APEC, at the WTO, and in bilateral free trade negotiations. The project, by identifying which negotiating arena is most likely to deliver an agreement to liberalise agricultural trade, will contribute to the advancement of Australia's economic and trading interests. Improving access to the Japanese market for agricultural products in the context of a broader trade agreement will generate substantial dividends for Australian farmers as well as tangible benefits for the wider community.

日本是澳大利亚农产品的重要市场，但高昂的进口壁垒阻碍了这一市场的全部潜力得以实现。在亚太经合组织、世贸组织和双边自由贸易谈判中，日本一直强烈反对农业贸易自由化。该项目通过确定哪个谈判领域最有可能达成农业贸易自由化协议，将有助于促进澳大利亚的经济和贸易利益。在更广泛的贸易协定的背景下改善农产品进入日本市场的机会，将为澳大利亚农民带来大量红利，并为更广泛的社区带来切实的好处。
