relationships with our export markets , including the TriLamb partnership in the lucrative United States market . We have promoted the sheepmeat industry ’ s position in the Japan-Australia Free Trade Agreement ( FTA ) and the Korea- Australia FTA , both of which will provide certainty for small but growing sheepmeat trades . SCA has also supported market access developments in the Middle East and North Africa , including the reopening of the Bahrain livestock export trade and the signing of the animal health protocols necessary to reopen the livestock export trade to Iran .
SCA will continue to work with industry and Government stakeholders to improve market access for sheepmeat , and improve the farm-gate returns of Australian producers .
