During the past nine years (up until July 22, 2024), the United States emerged as the primary partner, followed by New Zealand, Germany, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, China, and Italy, among others. While there used to be strong dynamics with Russia and Ukraine, those relationships have significantly diminished in the past two years.

Of the 1700 organizations that connect Australia to the rest of the world, notable ones include CNH (such as Case IH and New Holland, as well as other Australian brands acquired by the company), CSIRO, John Deere, EXEL Industries, CLAAS, AGCO Corporation (including Fendt and Massey Ferguson), PFG Australia, Kubota Corporation, SDF, Brandt Group of Companies, and many more.

In various categories such as tractors, harvesters, implements, balers, precision technology, irrigation tech, and dairy/grains/livestock tech, Australia’s machinery and technology predominantly come from the major global players.
