IMO its not so that as you say:

"But we sign FTA which do not allow us to "value add" to the products we export"

For example we export raw bauxite and then export aluminium which is
"adding value" to China, Japan who are FTA partners.

Similarly, by washing and processing raw coal pre export we are "adding value"

Do you have evidence that we are not allowed to export a manufactured product to any of our FTA partner countries?

Hi Mick

Have you read any of the FTA ?
I read a few and they have restrictions on everything, they are no where near a free trade agreement, they are a restrictive trade agreement

Why do you think they bring them in, we already had free trade
eg the smelter in Port Pirie were not allowed government money to improve their marketability
Bananas restricted
