Agri Direct Australia's key to global success

Even for an experience exporter, quick access to the right information is a game changer.

Agri Direct Australia (ADA) is using Austrade's Go Global Toolkit to identify new markets and find sales partners. With plans to expand its business in the next 5 years, ADA needed a quick way to find accurate information about new markets.

"We have been exporting for 12 years, but new markets are still challenging," said ADA founder Saydul Alam. "This toolkit helps us understand the risks and formulate our export strategies faster than we could before."

The Go Global Toolkit is helping ADA save time and avoid costly mistakes as they expand throughout Southeast Asia and beyond.
