On April 8, 2014, Australia signed a free trade agreement with the Republic of Korea, known as KAFTA, an agreement which came in to force on December 12, 2014. This was followed by the Japan-Australia Economic Partnership Agreement, known as JAEPA, which entered into force on January 15, 2015. Hiro Tejima, Wine Australia's Head of Market for Asia Pacific, discusses the impact of these agreements for Australian wineries. Have these agreements excited and reinvigorated these markets? Are there greater opportunities for Australian wineries in these markets?
