Trade Minister Simon Birmingham expects Australia’s exports to Indonesia to increase on the back of the free trade agreement between the two countries. The trade deal is due to be signed on 4 March, although it may be some months before it is ratified by parliament. Education, mining and tourism are among the Australian industries that are expected to benefit from the agreement, along with the citrus industry. Birmingham says Indonesian exports to Australia should also increase as a result of the trade deal.

Universities Australia and the Cattle Council of Australia are among the industry groups to welcome the clinching of a free trade agreement between Australia and Indonesia. Prime Minister Scott Morrison says the agreement is a "massive win-win" for both countries. The agreement will see reduced tariffs and improved access for Australian rural producers such as wheat growers and dairy farmers, while Australian universities and health care providers will be able to set up facilities in Indonesia. The majority of Indonesian goods exported to Australia will no longer have tariffs applied to them.
