"An iconic Australian product, made in Australia from Australian ingredients, is cheaper to buy 16,000km away from Australia than in Australia itself."

Should really be a retraction for writing that as apart from Cobram naking a hair cut on its margin to gain market penetration in the USA , , Cobram also has olive groves in California , so not 16000 kms away , probably paid less for the land per hectare there than in Australia and probably can get labour cheaper than Australia .

Also I use to live close to Woodland California (in Winters) where their Olive groves are the area is far easier to grow tree crops compared to Northern Victoria as the humidity is so low which reduces fungal and bacterial diseases plus fuel and power costs in general are lower than Australia
