Australian Wheat in Global Demand Australian wheat is in global demand. Around 80 per cent of Australia’s annual wheat production is exported to over 50 countries, including Asia, Indonesia, Japan, Iran, Iraq, China, Malaysia, South Korea and Yemen. The remaining 20 per cent is used by the Australian market to make flour, breads, noodles, biscuits, cakes and pasta plus it can be used as livestock food. Australian wheat is sought after due to its high quality and the fact it’s produced in a clean and green environment. The industry is thriving - so much so Australia is now the fourth largest exporter of wheat in the world!
