The value of Australian trade with China for almost all industries has plummeted by 40 per cent since a trade dispute ramped up between the two countries.
Key points:
Overall, trade between the two nations is down just 2 per cent in value
But that figure is being propped up by the iron ore trade
Wine, coal, barley are some of the export industries to be hit hardest
Overall trade between the two nations is down just 2 per cent in value, with the situation propped up by strong demand for Australian iron ore.
