1.  Who is Australia's largest export partner? What products do they export with them? How much of each product do they export? For what purpose does that country need the products they import from Australia?


Australia's largest export markets are Japan, China, South Korea, India and USA. But the largest partner to Australia is China, with a main export percentage of 21.81%. The closest main export to China is Japan with a percentage of 19.19%. 
Australia is a major exporter of agricultural products, particularly wheat and wool, minerals such as iron-ore and gold, and energy in the forms of liquefied natural has and coal. They also use machinery, and transport equipment.  
The purpose of other countries receiving these exports, vary from agricultural desires to animal and food needs. For example other countries may need machinery or transport equipment to further develop their country with Australian made goods.
