Abstract | The Darling Downs region where Toowoomba situates is the largest agricultural producing area in Queensland and the second largest in Australia. The opening of Brisbane West Wellcamp Airport (BWWA) presents new market access opportunities for agricultural businesses and related industries in Toowoomba and its surrounding areas. Exporting perishable products through BWWA is expected to provide steady job opportunities and economic growth to this region. However, exporting agricultural products requires a seamless supply chain, particularly for premium perishable food where the cold chain needs to be carefully managed and monitored from the origin in Australia to the destination in Asia. |
