CANBERRA, Australia—Federal Agricultural Minister David Littleproud has said that 2022 looks set to be a good year for Aussie farmers, forestry exporters, and fisheries after multiple trade deals came into force in January, creating improved access to overseas markets and tariff cuts to a range of commodities.

Littleproud said ongoing tariff reductions under free trade agreements negotiated by the federal government would provide considerable benefits to Aussie farmers.
