Key export markets include Bahrain, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Singapore.

AusNorth works closely with the Indigenous directors of its sister business, Marege Native Foods, to provide opportunities for First Nations businesses to export native and other foods to international customers. It is developing distribution chains across Southeast Asia, Europe and Canada.
