US demands more imported food

Australia is in the box seat to capitalize on a doubling of food imports to the United States.

By 2020 the US Department of Agriculture is forecasting that nearly 20 per cent of all food consumed in America will be imported.

USDA economist Alberto Jerardo says the desire for top quality produce "out of season" and the favorable currency exchange should help Australian efforts to meet that demand increase.

Alberto Jerardo: US imports of fruits and vegetables and grain cereals have gone up dramatically in that time, as well as red meat, from Australia, has gone up. Beef and pork imports by the US have gone up. So overall you see this pattern of rising US import share.
