Prior to the 20th century, professional traders play an important role, in the economy, due to the difficulty of travel. In ancient days, professional traders, trade from one place to another. They will buy goods that district B need but don't produce, from district A to be sold in district B, then they will buy goods district C need but don't produce, from district B to be sold in district C, then they will buy goods district A need but don't produce, from district C to be sold in district A.
Some of these professional trader within the country, others travel internationally. In ancient China and Persia, there are domestic traders, that travel from cities to cities for their entire life. Then there are international traders, they travel between nations, in the beginning, they travel via the silk road, from China, Persia, India, Egypt and Rome. Then, after the fall of Rome and rise of Islam, via the water route, they travel between Japan, China, South Asia, India, Middle East and East Africa and via land route also to Egypt, some record also show, they travel along the west coast of America.
After the Age of Enlightenment the Europeans rejoin this international trade, after been absent for 1000 years since the fall of Rome. With companies such as British East India Company, whose sole duty is to sell European goods to the world, to fulfil foreign demand and purchase foreign goods that Europe need, to fulfil Europe's demand.
Since the 20th century, with the increase of globalization, professional international trade companies, has started to disappear, due to businesses are now conducting foreign trades them self. But professional international trade companies, are still capable of doing international trade better, due to having
1. A better understanding of the market need, each country need
2. A better understanding of what Australia got to offer each foreign nation
3. A better understanding of what this foreign nation got to offer Australia
4. A better understanding to the culture of that nations, thus, better know how to market a product in that country (for example, during the middle ages, Arabic traders, draw the Christian cross onto the compass they purchased in Asia to be sold in Europe, due to in then Europe, people think compass use the magic of the devil, thus, the product was originally struggling to be sold in Europe, Arabic traders knowing about then western culture, know of what marketing strategy to overcome it. The Chinese, not knowing of such western culture, would struggle to sell the product to Europe, directly.)
Thus, this article propose the idea to induce fair trade between Australia and selected nations in our own Asia Pacific region, by working in partnership with their government to create a fair trade co-operation. These include
1. Australia Indonesia Trade Co-Operation, (with an office in Australia and an office in Indonesia): Indonesia is one of Australia's closest neighbour and with a population of 2 million, it is a large market.
2. Australia Japan Trade Co-Operation (with an office in Australia and an office in Japan)
3. Australia Korea(South Korea) Trade Co-Operation (with an office in Australia and an office in South Korea)
4. Australia Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) Trade Co-Operation (with an office in Australia and an office in Taiwan)
Japan, Taiwan and South Korea is the three most powerful free countries of the Asia/Pacific region and are industrial and economic power houses, Australia on the the other hand, got a weak manufacturing industry, but a strong agriculture industry.
5. Australia India Trade Co-Operation (with an office in Australia and an office in India), India is a highly over populated country with a high demand of agriculture goods and is capable of producing many cheap labor goods.
6. Australia Singapore Trade Co-Operation (with an office in Australia and an office in Singapore): Singapore is the wealthiest country per capital in all of Asia Pacific region, despite having a small population
7. Australia New Zealand Trade Co-Operation (with an office in Australia and an office in New Zealand) Despite New Zealand might not have much to offer Australia in trade, as the only other English speaking country in the Asia Pacific region, the ease of communication and similar culture, also make them an ideal trade partner.
