Australia seeks to become Asia's delicatessen
There is a wave of farmers moving to premium crops, which are being sold in the region's top stores
Sdyney
AUSTRALIAN farmers Rob and Jill Baker started growing native finger limes almost a decade ago. Today, top restaurants across Asia and Europe can't get enough of the fruit known as "citrus caviar" due to the burst of tangy flavour when chewed.
Finger limes are just one of a number of premium Australian agricultural products, including olive oil, honey, wagyu beef and organic baby food, now being sold in some of Asia's top stores as Australia pushes to become Asia's delicatessen.
