The Australian Made, Australian Grown (AMAG) logo, is now a registered certification trade mark in Singapore.
Every year for the past three years the logo has made its mark in a new Asian country, according to the not-for-profit Australian Made Campaign which administers the logo under a formal contract with the Australian Government.
It was registered in South Korea in 2013 and China in 2012, and it is also a registered certification trade mark in the USA.
The Australian Made Campaign says more Asian countries are set to follow, in line with the growth in exports to the region.
“The fact that these registrations can also now provide a legal framework – under local laws in those different countries – for our exporters to rely upon should their goods be copied or used without proper authority, is a win for Australian farmers and manufacturers,” Australian Made Campaign chief executive, Ian Harrison said.
A chain of Australian Made branded stores was recently established in South Korea, and just last month it was it was announced that 200 Australian Made branded stores would launch in China next year.
