EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report provides a general overview of the Hong Kong food market. It aims to identify opportunities for Victorian agri-food producers and exporters by examining current food trends and barriers in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is an affluent economy and a free market with almost zero import tariffs (with four category exceptions, including an 80% tariff on wine). It is a net food importer, and a market

opportunity for high value food and beverages. Hong Kong is also a gateway for greater China’s food market, and a good test market for other parts of Asia.

    AussieBum is now looking to expand into a new international market, China. China is the world’s most populous country and has been for centuries; making up one-fifth of the world’s population, reaching over 1.3 billion people. The state covers approximately 9.6 million square kilometres. Since the late 1970s China has dramatically changed. Moving from a closed, centrally planned system to a more diverse, market oriented one that carries a major global role, in 2010 China officially became the world’s largest exporter and stood as the second largest economy in the world after the US, in the value of services it produces. Its success has been essentially due to manufacturing as a low-cost producer. This is attributed to a mix of cheap labour, good infrastructure, relatively high productivity, favourable government policy, and a possibly undervalued exchange rate. Though still, per capita income is below the world average.…

    China are the world’s biggest exporter and second biggest in importers. This status is relevant because the North American and European economies suffered from the crisis in 2008-2009 and other countries needed an exporter country. China didn’t suffer from the crisis and showed potential. Countries exported to China and this helped the global recession from being worse. Also due to an increased activity of trade China is involved in, it has motivated a South to South trade.…
